- Efficient Industrial Refrigeration (#SHIFTEfficiency):
Although this is a greenfield project, the solution has been designed to optimize energy efficiency from the design stage. Compared to conventional systems, this technology will reduce energy consumption by around 6.5 GWh per year and avoid the emission of 656 tonnes of CO₂, the equivalent of planting around 4,950 trees.
The terminal, located in the port of Cadiz, is positioned as a benchmark in terms of sustainability and operational flexibility in the logistics and food sector. With more than 14,500 m² of covered area, the complex has refrigerated rooms capable of operating at two temperatures depending on the type of product:
- 4 MW cooling capacity at -10 ºC for fruit and vegetables.
- 1.3 MW cooling capacity at -30 ºC for meat, fish and seafood.
The versatile design makes it possible to adapt each chamber to either temperature range, ensuring optimal use of space according to operational needs. In addition, integrated autonomous shuttles optimize load handling and enhance logistical efficiency.

Nicolas Daunis, Country Manager GreenYellow Spain, states: "The alliance with PTP Ibérica in Cadiz marks an important milestone for GreenYellow in Spain. Our integrated model enables our clients to accelerate their expansion, optimize costs and achieve their ESG objectives, while ensuring the financing, operation and performance of energy assets. It is a concrete example of how the energy transition can become a lever for competitiveness and sustainability for the logistics sector. »
For PTP Group, this new terminal represents a strategic position in the south of Spain, at the port of the Bay of Cadiz, and expands the group's reach on three continents: South America, Europe and Africa.
Diego Nieves, Country Manager PTP Spain, highlights: "The location of the 'Border Control Point' within the terminal positions our site as a key player in import-export logistics, with enhanced connectivity to North Africa and the passage for Ro-Ro."
With 20,000 pallet positions, the terminal will meet the logistics needs of the European food supply chain. Its connection to the electric railway also makes it possible to set up sustainable logistics on a large scale. PTP Spain thus completes its European logistics platform, which now has more than 15 operational sites. A similar project is underway in the Netherlands via PTP Rotterdam, ensuring full continental coverage and increased connectivity options with South America, North America and Africa.
A model that drives expansion and competitiveness
GreenYellow's business model, based on "Energy as a Service contracts" and PPAs, not only applies to renovation projects, but is also a strategic tool for expanding companies. It enables them to design and implement new, efficient installations from the project phase, to focus their investments on their core business, and to delegate the design, financing, operation and maintenance of energy assets to an expert partner.
In this way, PTP Ibérica can develop its logistics platform with guarantees of performance, sustainability and cost control, without diverting resources from its core business.
Innovation and sustainability in industrial logistics
This flagship project illustrates GreenYellow Spain's goal: to support industrial and commercial (C&I) clients towards decarbonization by combining energy efficiency and renewable production for tangible and sustainable results. The collaboration with PTP Spain positions Cadiz as a European benchmark in energy innovation and responsible logistics.
The commissioning of the facilities is scheduled for mid-2026, marking a new milestone in the two companies' joint commitment to the sustainability and competitiveness of the sector. With this initiative, GreenYellow Spain and PTP Ibérica assert their leadership and send a clear message to the logistics sector: the energy transition is possible, profitable, and essential for the industrial future.
