Global logistics major Kuehne+Nagel Group has revealed that it has been selected to organize the heavy-lift logistics and module transportation for the hydro-processed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) biofuels project for Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
Announced in September 2021, the project will be one of the largest commercial production facilities in Europe to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel made from used cooking oil (UCO), animal fat, and other industrial and agricultural residual products.
Expected to start production in 2024, the 820 000 tonnes per annum facility will be one of the largest in Europe.
At Kuehne+Nagel, we support the global energy transition and are committed to playing an active role in projects such as HEFA biofuels, said Mustafa Sener, Global Head of Project Logistics.
Shell’s HEFA biofuels project will be supported by Renewable Energy Logistics, the new solution by Kuehne+Nagel Project Logistics, tailored to the specific logistics needs of the renewable energy industry worldwide.
It is designed to provide safe and proper transportation of all the components and machinery required to set up and maintain alternative energy projects.
