In the month leading up to COP30 in Bélem, Brazil, we unfold some of the various focus areas for the partners at the Denmark Pavilion.
Learn more about the Danish efforts, ambitions and activities at COP30, and connect with future solution providers.
Discover Denmark at COP30COP30 marks a pivotal shift from negotiation to action. With the framework of the COP30 Action Agenda guiding the process, clean energy tops the list as the first of six thematic axes, setting the course for implementation. The call is clear: the global community must triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 to stay within reach of the Paris goals.
Denmark stands ready to support this ambition.
Denmark’s commitment to clean energy dates back to the oil crisis of the 1970s. Since then, the country has built a robust clean energy sector based on close collaboration between policymakers, industry leaders, academia and civil society. This public-private partnership model has enabled Denmark to consistently push the boundaries of innovation – from pioneering onshore wind turbines to deploying the world’s first offshore wind farm in 1991.
Today, wind remains the backbone of Denmark’s green power supply, supported by solar, bioenergy and emerging technologies such as Power-to-X. In 2024, 64 percent of Denmark’s electricity consumption was covered by wind and solar power.

This transition is underpinned by an ambitious and legally binding national climate target: reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 70 percent by 2030 compared to 1990 levels – fully aligned with the Paris Agreement.
Denmark is on track to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 70 percent by 2030.
While wind power remains a cornerstone, Denmark’s clean energy leadership goes beyond wind. In 2025, Denmark opened the world’s first large-scale e-methanol facility in Kassø. This Power-to-X project produces e-methanol using only renewable electricity and biogenic CO₂ – providing a fossil-free alternative for the shipping industry and other hard-to-abate sectors.
This development is the latest in a series of clean energy milestones driven by Danish innovation. From solar and bioenergy to green fuels and sector coupling, Denmark’s experience shows that a just and efficient energy transition is possible – and already happening.
