Lubricating oil must keep up with, must set independent standards!

Lubricating oil must keep up with, must set independent standards!”

On August 16-19,2024, hosted by the Chinese Internal Combustion Engine Society, at the 2024 lubrication technology Conference held in Qingdao, you can really feel the call from the market.

In the change of the 19 st century, when the whole industry chain gathered together to held a lubrication technology conference, China is fighting a new battle in the key field of lubrication technology, as the "blood" of manufacturing, from the standard formulation to the innovation of various segments.

1. Big demand and urgent demand of "the world second and China first"

China has become the world's largest automobile production and export country; new energy vehicle field, Chinese production and sales in the world for 9 consecutive years.

Oil-electric hybrid, plug-in hybrid, pure electric, to fuel cell vehicles, burning natural gas, methanol, hydrogen, ammonia... different fuel, different motors for lubricating oil "taste" requirements vary. The fluidity, viscosity, anti-wear resistance, oxidation resistance, oil sludge sediment and other properties of traditional lubricating oil should be changed accordingly. Different technological routes are competing for the market, and which fuel can go further in the future? The industrial chain is under research, and the upstream suppliers expect to bet in the "burst" track.

The cumulative installed capacity of China's wind power market has ranked first in the world for 14 consecutive years, with nearly 10,000 complete machines assembled every year. At the beginning of the year, the installed grease reached 1000 tons, and the initial installation of lubricating oil reached 10 million liters, which is only a part of them. The volume of fat and oil will be three times that per machine throughout its life cycle.

What Liu He, the "first brother of China wind power" and goldwind technology wind power industry, revealed is just a small data of the lubricating oil market on the eve of the change.

Nuclear power, Marine engineering equipment, high-speed rail, industrial robots... a super track, corresponding to a variety of new scenes, new markets, put forward new requirements for lubricating oil.

Which of these are the opportunities? What is the market demand? Can you catch it?

These issues were warmly discussed at the first lubrication technology conference. The conference also attracted more than 10 academicians and experts from home and abroad and more than 500 experts and scholars to attend the conference. BYD, GAC, Weichai Power, CNPC, Sinopec, Shell, Goldwind Technology, Compton and other upstream and downstream industry chain top enterprises sent core technical personnel to attend. Some industrial capital has also joined in, looking for new investment targets.

Liu He has worked in the field of wind power for more than 20 years, seeing Goldwind Technology step by step to "the second installed capacity in the world and the first in China". At present, the total installed capacity of Goldwind technology in the world reaches 120GW, accounting for 11.7% of the global total.

Public information shows that under the "double carbon" strategy, the carbon peak in 2030, the total growth of domestic wind power market is 360GW, up 90%; in 2060, carbon neutral, the total installed capacity of wind power increased by 2200GW, up 275%.

Liu He said that the withdrawal of the state subsidy policy is forcing the wind power industry to reduce costs, and the wind turbines are becoming large. At present, the onshore wind turbine diameter is 230 meters long, more than 260 meters offshore, and the tower is 185 meters high, bringing more materials and technological innovation, requiring lubricating grease to have self-repair, self-healing, self-healing, reducing hardening and other functions.
