Offshore wind energy

Every time one gigawatt of offshore wind is installed in Denmark, 14,600 full-time equivalents (FTEs) are secured in Danish companies. So concludes a new study, which for the first time has examined in detail the national and local economic effects of investments in offshore wind. The study was presented at an event at the Port of Esbjerg, Denmark on 24 August with the presence of high-level energy actors, including Dan Jørgensen, Danish Minister for Climate, Energy and Utilities.

A prominent group of Danish energy executives came together for State of Green’s GREEN TALK this morning to debate the role of power-to-X in the green transition.

Copenhagen Airports, A.P. Møller – Maersk, DSV Panalpina, DFDS, SAS and Ørsted are ready for the first phase of the potentially 1.3 gigawatt (GW) large project for the production of sustainable fuels close to Copenhagen, Denmark. The partnership has matured the project and has submitted an application to investment fund Innovation Fund Denmark and at the same time expanded the circle of partners in the first phases of the project with companies Nel, Everfuel and Haldor Topsøe.

Danish experiences can contribute to the green transition in Japan by utilising the country’s large wind resources. A strengthened cooperation between Denmark and Japan also includes large commercial opportunities for the Danish wind industry that can deliver the green solutions requested by the Japanese.

The Danish emissions from electricity production are now only a seventh of what they were in 1990. With cheaper offshore wind, the trend of lowering emissions is continuing.

By 2030, the world will have its first two energy islands designed to produce 4 GW power – initially. One of them will be an artificial island in the North Sea named VindØ (“Wind Island”), which will be able to produce 10 GW power long-term. The finance for the island VindØ will come from the […]
