Join us at The Pavilion Powered by Denmark at Hydrogen and CCUS Technology Expo in Hamburg, as we bring together stakeholders from the public and private sector (businesses and public energy authorities) to discuss how we can leverage sector coupling to maximise the utilisation of renewable energy sources in an energy efficient way and thereby take the next crucial step on the path toward carbon neutrality.  

Background:

As the shift towards renewable energy picks up pace, the focus on how to build a much more integrated energy system that allows for renewable energy to be efficiently utilised by flowing between energy sectors has intensified accordingly. Essentially, energy production and energy consumption need to be tied together in a much tighter and more intelligent way. The entire energy system must be interconnected in innovative ways, breaking down traditional boundaries between heating, cooling, water, gas, e-fuels and electrical power in the planning and development of the future green energy system. 

Power-to-X technologies play a central role in creating the much-needed flexibility required to create a sustainable and resilient energy system of tomorrow. In addition, there is a substantial amount of excess heat from Power-to-X processes that can be harnessed and utilised for sustainable district heating in local communities, improving both the sustainable energy supply to citizens as well as improving the business case for Power-to-X technologies. 

Denmark and Germany have already established an energy cooperation focused on regulatory framework to support district heating and energy efficiency in buildings and industry, both of which hold a great potential for sector coupling.
