Klüber Lubrication India supports the cement industry’s sustainability goals with advanced synthetic lubricants that boost energy efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions, and ensure regulatory compliance. Their solutions offer fast ROI, operational excellence, and alignment with global environmental targets like net-zero.

The cement industry plays a crucial role in infrastructure development but also faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental impact. At Klüber Lubrication India, we support cement manufacturers in meeting their sustainability targets with advanced lubrication solutions that improve efficiency, lower energy consumption, and cut emissions.

Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) for Top-Listed Companies
As sustainability continues to be a key focus for industries, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has mandated Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) for the top 1,000 listed companies. This framework requires organisations to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives, including energy conservation, emission reductions, and resource optimisation. Beyond compliance, BRSR reporting allows companies to showcase their sustainability leadership and build investor confidence. Organisations that proactively address sustainability challenges are better positioned to attract long-term investors, secure financing, and maintain a competitive advantage in an evolving regulatory landscape.
Our high-performance synthetic lubricants play a crucial role in helping cement manufacturers meet these regulatory requirements by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions in critical machinery such as vertical roller mills (VRMs) and main gearboxes. By adopting our energy-efficient solutions, companies can strengthen their BRSR compliance while achieving tangible operational benefits.

Supporting Your Net Zero Targets
The global push for net-zero emissions is driving cement manufacturers to adopt sustainable practices that significantly cut down their carbon footprint. Our Klüber Energy Efficiency solutions are specifically designed to contribute to this goal. By switching from conventional mineral oils to our advanced synthetic lubricants, cement plants can achieve energy savings of up to 3.9 per cent while reducing CO2 emissions. These savings are achieved through lower friction, reduced wear and tear, and improved thermal stability, resulting in optimised equipment performance and a longer service life. Moreover, by reducing power consumption in critical machinery, our solutions directly support corporate sustainability commitments, aligning with Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and net-zero roadmaps.
Additionally, by lowering energy consumption, companies can benefit from reduced dependency on non-renewable energy sources, decreasing their overall environmental impact. Klüber Lubrication India’s advanced lubrication solutions ensure that cement plants can achieve operational efficiency while making significant progress toward their decarbonisation goals.

Investment Less Than 1 Cr, Payback in Less Than a Year: Least Effort, Maximum Returns
Cement manufacturers often hesitate to invest in sustainability initiatives due to concerns about cost and return on investment. However, our energy efficiency projects offer a compelling business case: with an investment of less than 1 crore INR, companies can achieve a payback period of less than a year.
By switching to Klübersynth GEM 4-320 N, an energy-efficient Polyalphaolefin (PAO) based synthetic oil, a single vertical roller mill main gearbox with a sump capacity of 6000 litres and a 6.5 MW motor rating can achieve annual energy savings of over 13,08,060 kWh. This results in a significant reduction in carbon emissions, equivalent to several hundred tonnes of CO2 (tCO2 equivalent), thereby contributing to long-term asset reliability and operational excellence.
The advantage of this solution lies in its simplicity. With minimal modifications and downtime, cement plants can quickly transition to an optimised lubrication strategy that enhances equipment efficiency, extends service life, and generates measurable cost savings. By investing in high-performance lubrication technology, manufacturers can achieve sustainability milestones while maximising profitability.
