Circular construction

The construction sector holds one of the greatest potentials for a circular transition. The sector represents an enormous potential for reducing waste and increasing recycling and reuse. A building can be designed for circularity if it is designed to be easily decommissioned, e.g. using principles of modularity and design-for-disassembly to enable higher reuse of the building materials.

More affordable carbon capture with biology

As industries seek to reduce CO₂ emissions, carbon capture is becoming an increasingly important tool for reaching climate targets. However, conventional amin carbon capture requires energy-intensive steam-production and produce toxic chemicals in the waste.

Increasing domestic biofuel production with biology

As countries seek to strengthen energy security and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, there is a growing need to produce more fuel from existing domestic resources. Agricultural crops, residues and waste biomass can play an important role in diversifying fuel supply. The challenge is to ge

Circular business models

By addressing product life extension, reuse and the recycling of waste, circular business models can re-duce consumption and minimise waste generation. They allow products to be continuously used, reused, sold as a service, and enable the sharing of products, rather than incentivizing a one-time purchase. A commonality and driving forces are data collection, digital tools, and design.

Waste management

Successful waste management utilises the potential of waste by increasing recycling and reuse of materials while limiting the amount of waste that goes to landfill. Denmark has an efficient waste management system in place and aims to have a climate-neutral waste sector by 2030.
