Goodyear is committed to providing innovative products that help change the world of mobility and drive a sustainable future. Responsible sourcing, more sustainable materials that provide first-class quality and performance is Goodyear'A better future"Part of the commitment.
So why mention soybeans?
When sourcing responsibly, soybean oil is a bio-based material that can be used like other oils, which will enable Goodyear2040to achieve the goal of completely replacing petroleum-derived oil in its products in. This mission also has an impressive start, as soybean oil consumption increased by 90% in 2019, exceeding the target of 25% by the end of 2020.
Improve resource efficiency
by using soybean oil,Goodyear uses as much as 22 million gallons of petroleum-based oil per year.Its rubber compounds are also easier to mix with the polymers used in compound formulations. This in turn can reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in the tire production process, whichThis will help Goodyear achieve its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% by 2023.
Dr. Bob Woloszynek, chief engineer of Goodyear's raw material development and enhancement technology, reported: "Partial alignment replacement can significantly improve the processing process. We evaluated our plants and we foundThe time required to mix a batch of product is reduced by 7-15%. We can then translate this reduction into energy savings or open capacity.”
Key Performance Benefits
Because it is a vegetable oil, it changes from a rubbery substance to a glass at very low temperatures, which makes it a perfect balance of properties in wet and winter conditions. Dr. Woloszynek commented: "It is easy to improve an attribute, but usually it requires a big trade-off.""We significantly improve one attribute without harming the other.”
In Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Goodyear's "High-Performance No. 2" tires use sunflower oil. "Most vegetable or vegetable oils like soybean oil have subtle differences. But we have been able to use these advantages to expand the performance advantages of applicable products," Dr. Woloszynek said.
A sustainable way of working
Goodyear's use of soybean oil technology echoes a gradual shift towards sustainable materials, whose benefits appeal to consumers, fleet managers and OEMs.
Goodyear's goal to completely replace petroleum-derived oil by 2040 demonstrates its innovative thinking and commitment to a more sustainable way of working, which not only has a positive impact on the environment, but also on performance.
Woloszynek"Soybean oil is a byproduct that will always be grown because we need it to feed people and animals. If Goodyear can use its surplus and use it for performance gains, it's a win-win for everyone," Dr."
