By 2023, > 50% of oil will be consumed and by 2050 global energy demand will be double

90% of lubricants may possibly be crop based (Common Crop Sources: Rapeseed, Sunflower, Soya, Palm)

Bio-refineries are the main chemical, technological and industrial production tools to reach these goals


Emerging crop-derived raw materials as ingredients from renewable sources in chemical technologies of lubricants and auxiliaries for industrial applications Strong saving in the metal industrial process and production Sustainability, environmental responsibility and renewable inputs

www.foundrychem.it

Different products/markets

Emerging consumer demand; bio-fuels, green

products, renewable materials

Sustainable development/agriculture and rural

employment

Positive environmental impact;

Ex: possibility of using urban organic waste as a

source of raw materials for specific technical

applications (Recycling & Biosustainability)

ALUMINIUM

is a light metal, able to reduce consumption of energy and fuels, and

easy to recycle then..

IT IS AN ECOLOGICAL METAL


www.foundrychem.it

ALUMINIUM

is the most widely used material for packaging of:

beverages, food, pharmaceuticals; thermal insulation and others,

then.. It needs bio-based lubricants and chemical auxiliaries for its industrial

process. ----------------

It means: more ecological and environmentally friendly industrial process

PRODUCTIVE SCENERY


THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGROCHEMICAL TECHNOLOGIES ALLOWS THE USE OF CHEMICALS BASED ON RENEWABLE RESOURCES FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS:

LUBRICANT ESTERS

WETTING AGENTS

ANTIOXIDANTS

CLEANERS

SOLVENT BASED ESTERS

NATURAL BASES

FILMS

LUBRICANTS AND CHEMICAL AUXILIARIES PLAY A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE ALUMINIUM PRODUCTION FROM FOUNDRY DOWN TO ROLLING AND FORMING,

PROTECTIVE/COATING, DETERGENTS AND FINISHING LINES.

Technology is an important issue and R&D activities are fundamental

Future actions:

Market development Demonstration plant on commercial scale to validate product performance, process viability and market acceptance (Al example) Need to develop confidence in supply chain sectors Consistent feedstock supply at full commercial scale Realistic growers contracts that reflect risk/reward

NON FOOD CROPS: EMERGING INDUSTRIAL RAW MATERIALS ON A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

Looking at the current industrial scene there are already positive examples where the use of bio-based lubricants and auxiliary chemicals has become an undeniable

success, and this is the case of Aluminum and its alloys.
