With sector coupling, we will be able to optimize how we consume energy. In other words, we will be able to move energy between sectors, so we can move forward or delay the consumption of renewable energy. Denmark can lead the way, globally, by developing a competitive system with robustness, flexibility and efficiency that would be impossible without the integration of separate sectors.
Danish Energy and Danish Industry who together forge the Corporate Climate Alliance have together with 24 companies presented their recommendations for better sector coupling to the ministry of climate-, energy-, and utilities. This has supplied 7 concrete recommendations for the Danish government.
- Apply a new cooperation model for the implementation of sector coupling
- Establish a national program for sector coupling
- Create the digital foundation across sectors
- Expand energy markets that couple sectors.
- Modernize regulation and reorganize energy taxation
- Implement large scale value chain projects
- Set new goals for the promotion of export in the energy- and climate area
