Our president committed to achieve this goal in all SKF production centers worldwide.<\/p><p>With that goal in mind, our factory started working some time ago and we have achieved CO2 neutrality since 2019. This is a great achievement thanks to the Tudela team, which has sought formulas to reduce energy consumption and thus reduce CO2 emissions and, in turn, make these processes that generate CO2 can be replaced by alternative ones. In 2019 we received an award for this, of which we are very proud.<\/p><p>But, in addition, SKF thinks that it is also one of its priorities to promote all those projects that can reduce the CO2 generated in the industry. In this sense, SKF discovered in Sweden a method for industrial oils to be treated in a process we call DST RecondOil. These oils can be used as many times as wanted, in a way that is, let&#8217;s say, infinite. This discovery has been incorporated in Tudela to offer the service to those external companies that want to implement a circular economy process.
