Your challenges
and our solutions
Energy Transition and Sustainable Development
- Development of renewable energies: The transition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and hydro is crucial to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, this requires massive investment in infrastructure and technology.
- Reducing CO₂ emissions: Finding ways to reduce their carbon footprint while maintaining sufficient energy production to meet demand.
- Energy efficiency: Improving energy efficiency in the production, transport and consumption of energy is essential to minimise losses and optimise the use of resources.

Our involvement
Analysis of existing systems:
- Data collection and analysis
- Mapping and analysis of existing flows
- Creation of a cost model: downstream transport / operating costs / stock holding / MOD-MOI
Production of several scenarios with X-Cargo:
- Baseline & Optimised Baseline, projected to 2024
- Optimal number of hubs
- Analysis of a Greenfield scenario
Comparison of scenarios:
- SWOT of each scenario
- Identification and assessment of capacity, social, transport, investment, operating and labour impacts.
- Benchmarking of platform rents + MOD/MOI
- ROI and implementation schedule for the selected scenarios (different strategies proposed)
The results
- Definition of a short-term model with 8 platforms and ROI calculation to determine the impact of demixing
- Proposal of 2 target scenarios (6 or 7 platforms) with rapid ROI depending on the scenario chosen and its implementation strategy
