Why are cement plants still paying for invisible energy losses – every operating hour?
Hidden friction losses cost cement producers up to €350,000 per mill annually. While most decarbonisation strategies focus on fuels or carbon capture, friction remains underestimated – and unaddressed.
The reality: If nothing breaks, we think we've succeeded. But lubricants are paid once. Energy losses are paid every hour.
The opportunity: Energy-efficient lubrication cuts friction, lowers electricity demand, and delivers measurable CO₂ reductions – with ROI in months, not years.

Topic: Beyond Zero-Sum | Rethinking the Role of Lubrication
Speaker: Ahmet Şener, Head of Global Cement Industry, Klüber Lubrication
Date: 17 March 2026
Time: 11:05 – 11:30
Location: Park Plaza London Riverbank
This presentation demonstrates how energy-efficient lubrication moves beyond failure prevention to become a measurable lever for energy savings and CO₂ reduction in cement production.
Ahmet Şener
Head of Global Cement Industry, Klüber Lubrication
Ahmet leads Klüber Lubrication's global cement strategy from Munich, focusing on energy-efficient lubrication technologies and CO₂ reduction through friction optimisation. He works at the intersection of application expertise, energy optimisation and digitalisation to support the cement industry's decarbonisation journey.
Discover the proven savings cement plants worldwide have already verified – and speak with our experts about your potential.
All savings verified using certified measurement protocols (DIN ISO 50015 / IPMVP). Trusted by cement plants worldwide.
Klüber Lubrication supports cement producers with proven, application-specific solutions:
Enclosed Gearboxes (Mills & roller presses)
Compressors & Auxiliaries (Air, CO₂ & process compressors)
Carbon Capture is moving from concept to reality in cement. With more than 54 CCUS projects planned globally, the industry needs lubrication solutions that can handle new challenges: extreme pressures in CO₂ compressors, corrosion from carbonic acid, and continuous operation under demanding conditions.
Klüber Lubrication provides specialized lubricants engineered for CCUS equipment – from CO₂ compressors to capture unit auxiliaries. Our solutions protect against deposits, extend component lifetime, and maintain energy efficiency even in carbon capture systems.
