The decarbonisation of base oils is emerging as a significant issue, driven by the need to mitigate environmental impacts and align with global sustainability goals. In collaboration with F&L Asia Ltd., ALIA is excited to present a dynamic two-day seminar focused on “Decarbonising Group I to V Base Oils and Re-Refined Base Oils (RRBO): Processes and Technologies. This pivotal event is dedicated to advancing the conversation and initiatives around the topic of decarbonising base oils.

This event gains even more significance in light of India’s impending RRBO legislation, which mandates the inclusion of RRBO in finished lubricants. The Indian legislation represents a transformative shift that will impact global lubricants trade.
