Manufacturing sustainable growth: three ways to accelerate efficient operations, today

1. Reduce Intensity

Production lines are intensive on equipment and in terms of energy consumption. Identifying the right product for a particular application can maximise uptime and output, extend equipment lifespan, and reduce waste. For example, Shell Tellus S4 VE hydraulic oil offers up to 40,000 hours of oil life and can deliver up to 4.4% decrease in energy use. (2)

2. Work Together

A low-emissions future requires industry collaboration, and lubricant manufacturers must work to meet evolving customer requirements. We recently launched our portfolio of carbon neutral lubricants, designed to offset the CO2e(3) emissions of more than 200 million litres of advanced synthetic lubricants (4) and help customers meet both their sustainability and performance goals.

3. Future Thinking

It can be easier to spot opportunities to transform operations with a fresh, independent view.  Talk to our experts about identifying opportunities to reduce waste, use sustainably sourced raw materials and packaging, and introduce renewable energy and alternative fuels.

The term “Carbon Neutral” indicates that Shell has engaged in a transaction where an amount of carbon dioxide equivalent associated with the acquisition and pre-processing of raw materials, lubricants production, packaging, distribution, and the subsequent use and end of life treatment of the used materials in relation to the Shell Lubricants products, has been removed from the atmosphere through a nature-based process, or emissions saved through avoided degradation of natural ecosystems.
