Green shipping

Committed to achieving climate-neutral shipping by 2050, Denmark is at the forefront of green shipping. The significant contribution to the development of new energy sources, including offshore wind parks and carbon capture and storage, makes the Danish shipping industry a key partner in decarbonising global shipping.

Green hydrogen

As one of the world’s largest shipping nations, green hydrogen and e-fuels production play a vital role in advancing Denmark’s decarbonisation efforts. Produced through electrolysis using renewable electricity, both are critical components in decarbonising industries and transportation globally.

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS)

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) are important tools for reducing emissions and accelerating the green transition. Through technologies like power-to-x, we can use the CO2e we already emit as a sustainable energy and fuel in other sectors.
