How to increase biogas production with green hydrogen

Biogas is a renewable energy source that is produced through the breakdown of organic matter, such as agricultural waste, food waste, and sewage. While biogas is a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, it still produces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions when burned for energy. To address this issue, th

Wind energy

Wind energy plays a key role in reaching Denmark’s target of 70% greenhouse gas emission reductions by 2030. And with some of the best wind conditions in the world, it is easy to understand how Den-mark has become a global hub for wind power technology

Green hydrogen

Green hydrogen and e-fuels play a vital role in advancing the green transition. Produced through electrolysis using renewable electricity, both are critical components in decarbonising industries and transporta-tion globally.

Solar energy

The sun provides more than enough energy to meet the whole world's energy needs, but only represents a small part of the world’s energy mix. Harnessing solar energy is one of the obvious ways to secure the green transition - both in Denmark and globally.
