LOGISTICS & DISTRIBUTION
While CCS isn ’ t directly a renewable energy initiative , Daniel describes it as “ a very powerful means to reach the carbon emission reduction targets ,” particularly for hard-to-adapt industries such as cement production .
This evolving landscape , he explains , is expected to generate significant capital expenditure , creating new opportunities for project logistics .
Beyond renewables , Daniel points to the critical role of mining in the global decarbonisation journey .
“ We expect that global decarbonisation efforts will drive the need for more mining to meet raw material requirements for batteries , wind farms and solar projects ,” he continues . “ As demand for key materials such as copper , nickel , lithium and cobalt increases , we ’ ll see more investment in new and existing mines globally .”
These developments underscore the pivotal role of logistics in supporting not just renewable energy but the entire supply chain underpinning the transition to a sustainable , low-carbon economy .
Prioritising sustainability On a broader level , DB Schenker recognises the urgency of addressing climate change and being a socially -responsible corporation .
The organisation is taking ambitious actions with a greener future in mind and , alongside its partners , is committed to growing in a sustainable manner for the good of people and the planet .
“ Sustainability is a core part of our strategy and we want to be a leader in the industry ”

In fact , across its everyday activities , the number of projects it takes on relating to energy and sustainability is increasing every year .
“ We ’ re currently engaged in different power plant and solar projects , as well as supporting clients to transport cargo for future hydrogen and CCS plants ,” Daniel adds .
“ When it comes to wind energy , people often only think about the wind turbines with their huge blades , but that ’ s only part of it . These wind park developments go hand-in-hand with significant investments in adjacent infrastructure for energy storage , grid expansion and energy supply , and DB Schenker is heavily engaged here .”
Daniel concludes : “ In today ’ s business world , it ’ s no longer only about the results that you produce , but also how you produce them . Sustainability is , therefore , a core part of our strategy and we want to be a leader in the industry .”
