Energy Can Help Denmark Fulfil Climate Goals

The energy industry can help Denmark reach the climate goals within transportation, agriculture, heating and in the industry. By choosing the right solutions, the climate goals can be reached without inflicting high economic expenses on the society and still reach the 50 % renewable energy target set for 2030. At the same time, the agricultural industry can be protected from climate actions that can negatively affect the competitiveness of the industry.
