About

The BRILIAN project has developed bio-based lubricants made from vegetable oils obtained from low-input dry crops. The formulations are intended for agricultural machinery within the project's circular rural value chain.

The lubricants are designed to replace fossil-based alternatives while providing friction reduction, wear protection and improved oxidative stability. Their use creates an additional industrial application for oils produced from crops suited to lower-input farming conditions.

Key benefits

  • Replaces fossil-based lubricants
  • Provides friction reduction and wear protection for agricultural machinery
  • Provides improved oxidative stability

Application

  • Supports rural circular supply chains
  • Agricultural machinery
