THE HENKEL PROSPECT - 2005


These figures were communicated by Henkel to Onidol. We are not aware of the assumptions made to reach them. The global result is an increase of about 0,5 Mo tons in the consumption of European oils within 2005.

THE DRIVING FORCES


Technical evolution and needs for performances Environmental awareness Harmless (even food) character Incentives or regulations

THE RIGHT SOLUTION


Oleochemistry
Cost/Performance OK

Biodiesel
? Brent (30 $) Rapeseedoil Out of balance 50.000 ppm of biodiesel cost / T fuel: 2.5 high Important 1 kg VEG = 1 kg MIN OIL 250 /T 450 /T

Glycerine market Lubricity improver in fuels Cost to enduser Government support needed Reduction of mineral oil use

OK 5.000 ppm of GMO cost / T fuel: 0.625 min 1 kg VEG = 2 kg MIN OIL

THE BARRIERS
The habits and resistance to change The lack of information and demonstration The lack of technical evidence on performances The higher purchasing price (50 to 250%) The economical cost calculation for the user Some bad experiences from the past, or still at present! Resistance from the oil industry

HOW TO OVERCOME THIS BARRIERS


Special green distribution network Farmers have to use their own products lubricants solvents adjuvents for pesticides The government must give the good example public companies like public transport on public construction works they must impose the use of environmental friendly products
