Conference Session Spotlight: Technology Showcase of Biobased Lubricants and Renewable Feedstocks
Monday, 3 March 2025
As industries strive for more sustainable solutions, biobased lubricants are emerging as a viable alternative to traditional petroleum-based options. Derived from renewable sources such as plant oils, esters, and agricultural by-products, these lubricants offer significant environmental benefits, including biodegradability, low toxicity, and a reduced carbon footprint. However, despite their promise, challenges such as feedstock availability, cost competitiveness, and scalability must be addressed for widespread adoption.
The Technology Showcase of Biobased Lubricants and Renewable Feedstocks at Lubricant Expo & The Bearing Show North America 2025 will explore the latest advancements in biobased lubricant technology, featuring expert insights on industry trends, performance metrics, and regulatory considerations.
Key Discussion Topics:
- Comparing Different Chemistries: How do various biobased lubricant formulations perform in terms of sustainability, durability, and efficiency?
- Sustainability and Performance Metrics: Investigating how biobased lubricants measure up to traditional lubricants.
- Innovative Formulations: Exploring new developments that enable lubricants to be reclassified or optimized for bio-based applications.
- Regulatory Landscape: Understanding classifications, regulations, and definitions that impact biobased lubricant adoption.
This session provides a platform for stakeholders across the industry to collaborate and drive investment in sustainable lubricant technologies. By addressing the challenges and opportunities within the market, this showcase aims to pave the way for greater adoption of renewable feedstocks and biobased lubricants.
