FIV, Alm.del - 2013-14 - Bilag 76: Pjecen "Denmark - Leading Energy Research & Innovation Hub"

Half of Denmark’s total power consumption is to be provided by wind gen-eration by 2020 and the Government’s vision is that all Denmark’s energysupply – electricity, heat, industry and transport – is to be covered by renew-able energy by 2050. No other country in the world has set such a demand-ing technological challenge.Achieving this goal will require a committed, continuous focus on energy re-search and innovation and international collaboration.The Government and the private sector are bringing forward green energytechnology to the marketplace, underlined by public funding of energy re-search, development and demonstration projects at more than 1 billion Dan-ish crowns annually. The Government’s energy research programmes arecurrently supporting more than 550 Danish energy research and develop-ment projects.I would like, with this booklet, to invite international companies, academiaand authorities to tap into our Danish energy know-how, exchange ideas,solutions and new technologies with us and help shape the future of cleanenergy.

Denmark's position as a leader in the global wind industry is founded onmore than 100 years of research in electric wind power. More than 30 per-cent of Denmark’s electricity consumption is provided by wind power, whichis to rise to 50 percent by 2020. Danish companies supply 1/4 of the world’swind turbines and components and 90 percent of the world’s off-shore windturbines. This concentration of companies and R&D operations across thewind power value chain is unparalleled anywhere else in the world. The windindustry works closely with academia and the fast growing Danish offshoreindustry.

district heatinganD coolIngDenmark has one of the highest levels of district heat-ing use. Today, 63 percent of Danish homes are con-nected to clean and efficient district heating systems.Heat is derived from many different sources includingwaste incineration, combined heat and power produc-tion, surplus heat from industrial processes and a vari-ety of renewable sources such as geothermal energy,solar, waste and biomass.More than 98 percent of homes in the City of Copenha-gen are connected to district heating.Absorption cooling from power plants and free coolingfrom cold sea-water is also used to provide cooling.Denmarkʼs district heating and cooling expertise hasbecome highly sought after around the world.Decoupling GDP growth from emissions of CO215014013012011010090CO2emissions Indeks 1990=100GDP indeks 1990=100

The Danish smart grid sector has, through continuousinnovation and growth, established a strong interna-tional reputation for Danish intelligent energy technol-ogy and know-how.Denmark is home to the most advanced electricity gridin Europe. The national grid's more than 60 smart gridcompanies provide state-of the-art advice and prod-ucts within energy management systems, power trans-mission, power distribution and power electronics.22 percent of all intelligent power grid projects in theEU are carried out in Denmark, at the Danish Island ofBornholm's full scale smart grid test site.

GreenMobilityElectric VehiclesDenmark is the first country in the world to establisha nationwide vehicle charging infrastructure, whichfurthermore includes quick charge and common charg-ing stations. Denmark has a wide range of EV test anddemonstration sites and 76 EV projects are currentlyrunning in Denmark. EVs are backed by favourableframework conditions and large public funding of EVmarket activities, testing and demonstration.

Sustainable biofuelsDanish research is also at the forefront of sustain-able biofuel development, which includes a number ofcompetitive biofuel production technologies for bothbioethanol and biodiesel, including full scale demon-stration and production plants. Denmark has built anumber of strong clusters around biotechnology.

Hydrogen andfuel cellsIn the last 20 years, Denmark has become one of themost important centres of hydrogen and fuel cell re-search and development. Denmark has proven to bea crucial player in the implementation of these tech-nologies via system integration and demonstration pro-jects. Efficient cooperation between researchers, theindustry and state funded programs is ensured by TheDanish Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells, whichalso forms a platform for international cooperation be-tween Denmark and other countries.>Haldor Topsoeis a world leading Danishcompany within fuel cells and heterogeneouscatalysis.>Dantherm Powerhas developed a MicroCombined Heat and Power unit that can eas-ily meet a family's consumption of power andheat or be used for various industrial pur-poses.>The Danish Partnership for Hydrogenand Fuel Cellscan be contacted on:hydrogennet.dk>Dansk Mikrokraftvarme:A full scaleproject where hydrogen from an electrolysisplant, powered by wind, is sent via pipelinesto fuel cells in each home in the Village ofVestenskov, producing green electricity andheating for the families.>Infrastructure for Hydrogen:In 2013 anew hydrogen fueling station produced by H2Logic A/S opened in Copenhagen and 15 fuelcell electric vehicles from Hyundai were deliv-ered to Copenhagen.

Bioenergyand wasteDenmark has been using biomass to produce energyfor many years. Biomass accounts for more than 10percent of total energy consumption, and agriculturalresidue, straw, wood chip and city waste account for 70percent of the biomass used in Denmark. Denmark isan industry hub and testing ground for modern energytechnologies based on biomass, biofuels, and biogas.Denmark has developed the most efficient waste man-agement system in Europe, waste being first and fore-most recycled, remaining fractions being burnt in incin-erators to produce district heating and electricity. Onlywaste that cannot be recycled or incinerated is dumpedat landfill sites.

Danish photovoltaic technology and solar thermal energy systems providereliable and cost-efficient electricity and heat generation. These systemshave been successfully utilized in both commercial and residential buildings.Solar thermal energy is also used at a larger scale, providing 15 – 18 percentof the heat supplied by more than 30 CHP units. Denmark has an impressivetrack record within innovative solar district heating development. An numberof plants have already been installed and there are plans for a number of newlarge plants of between 40,000 – 70,000 m2of solar panels.

EnErgy EfficiEncy,buildings andlightingDenmark ranks as one of the most energy-efficient countries in the EU andthe OECD, not least because many Danish companies have optimised theirindustrial processes, facilities and equipment. Energy-efficient solutionsthat can save more than 50 percent energy have furthermore been widelyimplemented in newly built and refurbished housing, offices and public insti-tutions. Research is also being carried out in several areas such as facades,insulation materials, ventilation systems, heat regulation, refrigeration andintelligent lighting solutions.
