Abstract
This work highlights Cleaner Production (CP) opportunities available in Downstream Petroleum Lubricants Industry with view to reduce negative environmental impacts of lubricants throughout the value chain. Effort was made to investigate existing cleaner production practices by manufacturers and users. Options were generated to improve on the current practices. Base oil substitution, minimizing oil losses during and after manufacturing, raw material and energy consumption reduction, and environmentally friendly used oil disposal were considered for effectiveness.
