and production of bio-based lubricants from a

technical and chemical view, unfortunately the economic aspects are
not shown." (Encyclopedia of Industrial Biotechnology, 30 August

academia, and includes case studies on lubricants and greases from
renewable sources, test results, new developments and more. "
