Q . WHAT ARE SHELL ’ S PLANS TO EXPAND THE PORTFOLIO OF DECARBONISED LUBRICANTS ?
» I am particularly proud that the new lifecycle sustainability approach will be included as standard across the full AeroShell product range , including turbine engine oils ( TEOs ), piston engine oils ( PEOs ), greases and fluids , for both the commercial airline and general aviation markets .
While this new AeroShell offering is about addressing emissions today to help make net zero a reality tomorrow , it is also part of our wider efforts to prepare lubricants for the future of aviation . Alongside our sustainability approach , we will continue to support our customers by providing high-performance lubes that enable efficient flying , which also contributes to aviation ’ s decarbonisation .

More generally , our focus at AeroShell continues to be working hard on being a leading lubricants supplier that is valued by our customers for supporting their performance , and now their sustainability efforts too . sustainabilitymag . com 21
