Comparison of PCF Methodologies Across Sectors Shows Evidence for Continued Harmonization.
The lubricants sector is intricately connected to various industrial sectors, including chemical, petroleum, and automotive industries, with the latter being one of the largest users of lubricants and greases. Each sector has developed its own Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) methodologies to address their unique processes and assessment requirements. This makes sense, as one value chain can encompass completely different sectors with distinct processes, ranging from countable parts to mixed batch-products and (petro-) chemical multi-output processes.
On 26th of March, during the ATIEL UEIL Joint Sustainability Committee in-person meeting in Brussels, ATIEL and UEIL established the formation of the Circular Materials Working Group. This new working group joins the existing Carbon Footprint, Downstream Working, and Communications Working Groups.
The Circular Materials Working Group will support the lubricants industry by focusing on key aspects of circular materials, such as the use of re-refined base oils (RRBO) and other circular or renewable materials in lubricants.
