Transition to net-zero will require much higher clean energy capacity, stronger supply chains: report – ArabianBusiness

As the effects of climate change become increasingly visible, the energy sector is going through a transformational journey as governments and companies are stepping up their efforts to reduce CO2 emissions.

The recently published DHL white paper titled Logistics of the Energy Revolution sheds light on the transformation of the entire energy industry on the road to a net-zero future and how logistics has turned into its key enabler.

“A net-zero system will entail a profound shift towards electrification. We are however faced with the circumstance that renewable energies produce less power per installation than fossil fuels. This means that installed wind power capacity will need to increase by a factor of four, and solar photovoltaic by a factor of seven, between 2020 and 2030,” said Katja Busch, the chief commercial officer for DHL and the head of DHL Customer Solutions and Innovation.
