Successful transition will be dependent on the willingness to align requirements and standards so that industry can develop solutions and systems to facilitate reliable, clean, efficient transport. This will require close cooperation between vehicle and automotive parts manufacturers, IT and energy industry, fuel suppliers and retailers, road construction industry, consumer organisations and local, regional, national and supra-national regulators so that robust solutions and standards are developed.


But what are the prospects for this to happen in practice? Governments under pressure from NGOs and national law courts were recently forced to announce ambitious plans to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transport, especially in inner cities. But while in a number of countries (UK, FRA, NOR, NL) ambitious objectives to phase out sales of new internal combustion engines by 2030 were formulated, detailed implementation plans with time horizons stretching beyond the life time of any current government are mostly absent.


Lubey.de -


What appears to be common among these plans is the wholesale substitution of ICEs by battery powered electric passenger vehicles, assuming ample availability of zero carbon electricity, accessible through a country-wide network of charging outlets, but so far concrete plans to transfer to this new world are still missing. Unfortunately, these plans also do little to address congestion which in many instances is the


main cause of the exceedances in pollutant and CO2 emissions.


So banning ICEs without consideration of what other clean, low carbon technologies might be available achieves very little; it might only get in the way of developing a fully integrated mobility plan that addresses the problems mentioned in the first paragraph of this article.

Online Platform for Trading Waste Oil Christian Hartmann, Board Member Lubey AG


Lubey AG, an independent company based in Halle (Saale) in Germany has developed an online platform “Lubey.de”, aiming for the digitalisation of all trading of secondary raw material such as waste oil, plastics, paper or scrap. The project has been introduced at this’ years IFAT fair in Munich, and is intended to enable all interested parties to gain a supra-regional, quick and easy access to important raw material.


Why is this important for the lubricant industry? Lubricant sellers have end- of- life producer responsibility for their products. Usually the seller agrees a certain contribution for disposal, sometimes on the basis of a frame contract, sometimes without.


But how about pricing and quality? The waste oil market is not very transparent, prices fluctuate influenced by the crude oil price, or the quantity, quality and other regional aspects. Here, Lubey provides a convenient, accessible solution for disposal – certified, at best price and environmentally friendly.


40 LUBE MAGAZINE NO.146 AUGUST 2018


By calculating the best available price via an auction process, Lubey guarantees a reflection of the real market. This will save sales and administration costs, enabling the disposing firm to optimise their routing – leading to more efficiency, less mileage and less exhaust emissions.


This makes Lubey the ideal solution for the industry to gain quick and accurate pricing information, providing a sustainable recommendation to the end user of the lubricant and supporting price calculation.


At the moment, Lubey is active in Germany’s waste oil sector. However, it is forecast to provide this solution throughout Europe for all kinds of secondary raw material.
