Kuehne+Nagel announced that it will organise the heavy-lift logistics and module transportation for the hydro-processed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) biofuels project for Shell plc in the Netherlands.

In a statement, it said the project will be one of the largest commercial production facilities in Europe to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable diesel made from waste.  

The biofuels facility in Rotterdam is expected to start production in 2024.

It will produce low-carbon fuels such as renewable diesel from waste in form of used cooking oil, waste animal fat, and other industrial and agricultural residual products.

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.

The Swiss global transport and logistics company also noted that it is designed to provide safe and proper transportation of all the components and machinery required to set up and maintain alternative energy projects.

Kuehne+Nagel noted that Renewable Energy Logistics will focus on delivering supply chain solutions and logistics services for all major modes of transport for the existing and new customers in the renewables industry such as wind (on-shore and off-shore), hydro, and solar energy sectors.
