- SKF will present magnetic bearings, monitoring, oil regeneration, remanufacturing and additive manufacturing at COP31.
- The company links data-centre cooling to rising artificial-intelligence demand and estimates a lifetime emissions benefit for chillers commissioned in 2030.
- SKF is joining the Energy Efficiency Movement to promote wider industrial adoption of efficiency solutions.
SKF is taking an energy-efficiency and circularity portfolio to COP31, connecting its industrial technologies with rising demand for lower-power operations and longer equipment life. The company outlined the programme in a SKF press release dated November 5, 2026.
SKF will highlight magnetic bearings, condition-monitoring solutions, oil regeneration, remanufacturing services and additive manufacturing. The company says the technologies can help customers reduce energy use, extend industrial assets and limit material waste while supporting reliability and resilience.
Data-centre cooling adds a growth angle
Magnetic bearings operate without physical contact, reducing friction and mechanical wear in cooling systems. SKF is presenting the technology as relevant to data centres, where the expansion of artificial-intelligence computing is increasing demand for cooling infrastructure.
SKF estimates that chillers equipped with its magnetic bearings and commissioned in 2030 could avoid 3.4 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide-equivalent emissions over their lifetimes. The estimate compares lower electricity consumption and higher availability with traditional oil-lubricated bearing systems and is based on International Energy Agency scenarios combined with SKF's business projection.
Portfolio broadens beyond bearings
The company will also present SKF Insight bearings for condition monitoring, RecondOil for keeping industrial oil in use longer, remanufacturing services for restoring bearings and SKF Infinium, which uses additive manufacturing to renew large bearings. SKF is joining the Energy Efficiency Movement, a global network focused on wider adoption of industrial efficiency solutions.
