Industries with substantial energy demands, such as the food and beverage sector, rely heavily on energy for production, processing, and product transportation. Notably, the food and beverage industry contributes to approximately 30 percent of global energy consumption within the industrial sector.
Energy-efficient solutions are an important tool to address these challenges. By optimising energy usage and reducing waste, especially in energy-heavy industries, companies can achieve significant cost savings and secure sustainable resource consumption while enhancing their market competitiveness and improving operational efficiency.
Energy efficiency has been an embedded part of Denmark’s mindset for decades, driven by a spectrum of policies, initiatives, and instruments with normative, informative, and economic objectives. Denmark exemplifies the possibility of decoupling economic growth from increased energy consumption, demonstrating the great potential in harvesting low-hanging fruits from conducting energy efficiency improvements.
