Logistics of the Energy Revolution
This white paper explores the critical role logistics play in supporting the transition to sustainable energy.
The energy sector revolution is underway. Oil and gas companies are reshaping business portfolios and increasing investment in green energy and sustainable technologies. At the same time, renewable energy companies are doubling down to meet the increasing demand for alternative energy and deliver the associated infrastructure.
The Energy Transition
The Logistics of the Energy Revolution white paper, co-authored by DHL and Capgemini Invent, explores how companies in the energy sector can successfully transition their networks and infrastructure to achieve net-zero emissions. It also highlights the crucial role logistics will play in driving the evolution of the energy industry toward greater sustainability, resilience, and operational efficiency.
Building End-to-End Supply Chain Visibility
The smooth operation of complex, decentralized, and often global renewable energy supply chains requires full visibility across the entire supply chain. At the heart of this visibility is digitization. Energy companies are investing in smart digital platforms, capabilities, and tools like connected sensors, drones, and digital twins to manage logistics, optimize supply chain design, and enable better collection, analysis, and real-time decision-making based on digital supply chain data.
Pursuing Sustainable Logistics Solutions
Logistics is an energy-intensive business, with challenges such as finding commercially available alternatives to fossil fuels for heavy trucks, long-distance ships, and air transportation. Forward-thinking energy companies are collaborating with logistics providers to develop early use cases for emerging technologies. Additionally, they are reducing costs and supply chain emissions through operational improvements like route optimization and better utilization of transportation assets.
Challenges in the Renewable Energy Supply Chain
Today, the renewables supply chain faces four major challenges. First, more decentralized and distributed power generation is driving up logistics demand. Second, the limited availability of logistics assets and services is increasing costs. Third, growing supply chain complexity requires enhanced visibility and control. Finally, the push for net-zero energy technology demands low-carbon logistics solutions to reduce emissions and improve sustainability across the entire supply chain.
