India is ranked the 4th largest wind energy producer in the world with a potential to grow over a period of time. Presently India has an installed capacity of 27,509.0 MW of wind energy making (4.3% of total wind energy produced across the globe). Windergy is a perfect platform for ExxonMobil to engage with industry leaders and showcase its wind energy portfolio. Wind energy brings low component running cost, which makes it an optimal source of energy in the long run. But when it comes to wind energy generation, wind turbine lubricants need to last long and offer excellent oxidation and shear stability, all the while protecting key turbine components such as gears from micropitting and main bearings from failure etc.

 "Wind industry is a growing market with a large number of new entrants tapping this segment. To successfully run operations today requires not only efficiency and productivity but also ensure safety by reducing risks in human to machine interface as well as control and reduce environmental impact. Mobil's synthetic lubricants are designed to help in Advancing Productivity, which means Mobil lubrication solutions help mitigate potential employee risks arising from direct contact with equipment, helps in reducing carbon footprint, achieve the operational goals and enhance competitiveness by increasing efficiency, reliability and productivity. Our specially designed synthetic oils and greases provide excellent protection against wear, rust and corrosion adding to improved performance, longevity of equipment as well as wind turbine productivity," said Glen Sharkowicz, Industrial Marketing Manager Asia Pacific at ExxonMobil Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd.
