SK Enmove targets a top-tier global position in energy-efficient lubricants by 2040, countering EV-driven oil demand decline fears with its new product, ZIC e-FLO, and underscoring the importance of specialized EV lubricants.
Contrary to the belief that demand for lubricant oil will decline with the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), SK Enmove CEO, Park Sang-kyu, emphasized the need for a dedicated lubricant that enhances energy efficiency in EVs. Electric vehicles require specialized lubricants that effectively cool motors and reduce friction resistance in gears.
CEO Park expressed confidence in SK Enmove's competitive edge in raw materials and technologies during the ZIC Brand Day event. He stated, "SK Enmove is paving the way in the EV lubricant oil market, positioning itself as a leader in the industry."
SK Enmove has been manufacturing lubricants for electric vehicles since 2013, with the global e-fluid market projected to reach 12 trillion won ($9 billion) by 2040. Expanding its focus beyond electric vehicles, the lubricant unit of SK Innovation is showing keen interest in liquid immersion cooling (LIC) technology.
Liquid immersion cooling technology utilizes a dielectric liquid that is thermally conductive, effectively reducing heat in hardware through submersion. Data centers, energy storage systems, and EV batteries can achieve a 30% increase in cooling efficiency compared to traditional air-cooling methods.
With the LIC market expected to grow to 42 trillion won by 2040, SK Enmove is poised to succeed in thermal management. CEO Park highlighted the importance of enhancing energy efficiency through thermal management as the demand for data usage continues to surge exponentially.
SK Enmove recognizes the significance of the internal combustion engine oil market, particularly in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, where vehicles using such engines are highly popular among consumers. The company aims to maintain a presence in this market segment while striving to be acknowledged globally as an energy-saving company.
Since its spinoff in 2009, SK Enmove has consistently generated profits, contributing to longer and safer energy use in everyday life. SK Enmove changed its name from SK Lubricants last year to establish itself as an energy-saving powerhouse.
