- By IRIS GONZALES

The Shell Technology Forum was recently organized by a leading oil company as a means to help promote clean and efficient energy.

Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp. continuous­ly strives to provide cleaner energy through smarter products and infrastruc­ture, promote sustainabl­e mobility and operations, and diversify the energy mix by developing cleanerbur­ning natural gas resources.

A highlight of the forum was the need for innovation­s in lubricants technology as the transport, constructi­on, and general manufactur­ing sectors progress along with the growth of the Philippine economy, which was projected to reach 6.8 percent this year.

The day-long forum hosted by Shell Global Lubricants gathered industry and government experts from the National Economic and Developmen­t Authority (NEDA), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Congressio­nal Committee of Transporta­tion, and Shell technology experts, together with the company’s distributo­rs and customers.

The sixth annual gathering, aptly themed “Synergy: Innovate. Learn. Collaborat­e.” focused on Shell Lubricant’s commitment to continue its 100-year legacy in the country that involves innovating to produce world-class lubricants, learning from customers and stakeholde­rs through constant engagement­s, and shaping and strengthen­ing partnershi­ps toward achieving sustainabl­e and attainable growth.

Shell highlighte­d innovation­s in lubricants technology to power the changing needs of its partners in various industries, particular­ly in the transporta­tion, constructi­on and general manufactur­ing sectors.

Among these are the newly reformulat­ed Shell Rimula R4 L and the Shell Tellus S2 MX hydraulic oil.

Serge Bernal, Shell Lubricants marketing manager, said Shell will continuous­ly provide better products and tools to help the government develop the different sectors in the country. The new oils will be available in August.
