Cross-energy management for a balanced mix with thyssenkrupp

Sustainability is not meant to be a concept used to make businesses look cleaner. It needs to be put into practice. Nowadays renewables are already an important part of the energy mix, and Panalpina is putting significant resources into the sector.

Panalpina’s Energy and Project Solutions is spearheading these efforts and recently secured three key contracts to manage a total of six projects in Australia – five solar farms and a biomass power plant. The projects by three of the most important players in the industry will transform the renewable energy sector in the country.

In the spotlight today is thyssenkrupp. As a diversified industrial group, thyssenkrupp aims to supply innovative products, technologies and services worldwide that contribute to the sustainable success of their customers.

The sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow

Not everything in renewables is solar or wind power. Other innovative clean energy sources and storage technologies are being developed. This is where cross-energy management comes in: matching consumer demand to producer workflows and the supply of renewable energies. thyssenkrupp is pioneering this field and, as part of the Green Energy Bio Fuel Project in Australia, the German multinational has awarded key logistics services to Panalpina. The scope of work involves logistics for the Tableland Green Energy Power Plant in North Queensland, with regular ocean freight as well as break-bulk charter shipments to the site from India, China and around Australia.

The biomass-fired power plant is a major development for the Tableland region. Once operations begin, the plant’s high pressure boiler will produce 130 t/hour of steam to power a turbine generator and produce 24 MW of electricity – enough to power every house in the region.

  • Ship, grind and press – ceramics in the making

    Panalpina Energy and Project Solutions executed another #MajorMove with two port-to-door shipments for one of Brazil’s leading ceramics makers. The move included ocean and overland transportation of an industrial mill and a hydraulic press from Genoa, Italy, to Paranaguá, one of the main gateways in southern Brazil, as well as the installation of both machines in Tijucas, Santa Catarina.

  • #IcarusTrip: neutrino hunter on the move

    ​Looking for one of the smallest particles – neutrinos – requires not only international cooperation but also quite a huge piece of scientific equipment. Panalpina recently helped to move one from CERN in Switzerland to Fermilab at the University of Chicago, where it arrived at the end of July 2017. It was a closely watched voyage.

  • Rise and shine

    Panalpina was recently contracted by Salini Impregilo (ISJV), a leading global construction firm, to transport the two main towers of a new rail bridge for Sydney Metro, Australia’s biggest public transport project. Transport for NSW, the authority that manages the transport services in the state of New South Wales, Australia and owns the project, tasked ISJV to build the bridge.

  • Clean energy for 54,000 Australian homes with Downer

    Panalpina is involved in a series of projects that will help reshape Australia’s energy future. In 2017, leading integrated services company Downer awarded Panalpina with the Ross River Solar Farm contract. Panalpina will control shipping, customs clearance, inland transport, warehousing and site coordination for ocean freight from Asia and the USA.
