Global Trends – Changing Global Energy Mix
Energy demand grows 1.2% to 2040
95% of the anticipated increase from developing countries
• China & India >50% of this growth
Slowdown in demand for oil and coal
Gas becomes 2nd largest energy source
Renewables 7.4%/yr growth
Natural gas will experience the largest demand growth
Changing Fuel Sources for Power Generation
Global electricity demand grows 60% 2016-2040
Demand for lower carbon energy means energy source shifts
Natural gas grows significantly
• Increased demand from OECD, China and
countries where it is domestically available
• Use of waste gas will rise
Biomass, waste gas and coal could dampen demand

LARGE ENGINES
End-User RequirementsReliability over engine lifetime
• Robust lubricant technology
• Oil change at standard maintenance interval
• Minimize downtime
LARGE ENGINES
Sour gas operation - additional challenges
• More acidic/abrasive
• Deposit, wear, corrosion control
New formulations needed to meet end-user requirements
Deposit control & acid neutralization is
essential
Modern Gas EnginesDesign changes for improved efficiency
• Higher BMEP • New piston design
• Larger turbo chargers • Combustion strategy
Profitable recycling of waste gas to electricity
• Land fills • Biogas digesters
• Severe environment for lubricants
Increased downtime & costs
Shorter oil lifeIncreased deposits
Lubricants must work harder for longer

Forecast of Natural Gas Engine Installed by Power Rating
Sustained worldwide gas growth based on:1. Government pushing for gas utilisation to reduce
environmental impact
2. Increasing demand for local based gas
3. Modernisation of old plants

LARGE ENGINES
Summary• Global gas consumption is projected to grow in all
sectors, particularly in the developing countries
• Clear trend to move to greener fuel, hence considering
natural gas but also biogas, landfill gas and other waste
gas as a source of energy
• Increased demand lead OEMs to improve engine
efficiency and power output while end users require
reliability over engine lifetime and minimization of
the downtime
Severe environment leads to need for optimised lubricants, working
harder and over a longer time
