World Hydrogen Week is coming to Copenhagen

Taking place in Copenhagen from 30 September to 4 October 2024, World Hydrogen Week will gather the entire hydrogen value chain for five days of knowledge sharing, innovation, and networking with the goal to contribute to the transition towards a net-zero economy.

Denmark has experience and solutions across the entire green hydrogen value chain

Denmark has experience across the whole green hydrogen value chain, from unparalleled experience within offshore wind, highly efficient electrolyser technologies, and a core focus on cross-industry energy efficiency, to a strong transport sector, district heating grids for utilising excess heat, and cutting-edge technology providers. 

Denmark is also world-renowned for its research and development, helping new industries take root. This goes hand in hand with ensuring that the workforce’s abilities align with the demands of the new hydrogen industry. To execute it all, great attention is put towards educating a skilled labour force, ensuring a transition that is both green and just. 

Denmark’s green hydrogen and e-fuels journey is already underway, with clear plans for acceleration

Denmark has a long tradition of active energy policy, initiated as a reaction to the first oil crisis in 1973. Over the years, a pursuit of energy efficiency, system integration, and renewable energy generation has moved Denmark close to a fossil-free energy system. The next step is the decarbonisation of heating, transportation, and industry through both direct and indirect electrification, taking advantage of the high level of renewable energy in the Danish energy system. Hydrogen is the natural conclusion of this journey. It holds considerable potential for reducing CO emissions in hard-to-abate sectors and offers further potential for system integration, sector coupling and deployment of renewable energy sources.

Legacy of wind: From pioneering wind to pioneering net-zero energy systems

Denmark was the first country to install a commercial offshore wind farm more than 30 years ago and has been a first mover in the wind industry for decades. Geographically located between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, Denmark has access to abundant offshore wind resources, which provide the potential for Denmark to become Europe’s green powerhouse.

Sector coupling: Creating value across the energy sector

Coupling sectors, energy production, and flexible consumption is a crucial next step in the green transition, and Power-To-X plays a vital part in this process. Sector coupling is key for the success of full deployment by, for example, utilising excess heat from electrolysis in the district heating system or using sources other than drinking water for electrolysis to create a circular process that protects drinking resources. 

In other words, green hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives can support the integration of renewables into the energy system, create value for the electricity supply, provide excess heat for district heating and industry, and produce green fuels for transport and industry.
