Energy storage

A research project at the Niels Bohr Institute will look into superconductors that can help ensure big energy savings by e.g. reducing the energy loss during transportation through cables.

The circular economy entails reusing and reutilising resources. A new pilot plant is to be established that will store surplus energy from wind turbines and transform it into a sustainable, green ammonia product. Doing so will also help reduce CO2 emissions.

At Aarhus University, Denmark, researchers and Danish companies have developed a pilot plant that can convert CO₂ into methane gas. In the future, greenhouse gasses can turn out to be a valuable resource, according to the researchers.

Flexible temperatures between 20-24 degrees Celsius in dwellings can reduce heat consumption and boost utilisation of renewable energy.

An exhilarating week of energy events in the Nordic cities of Copenhagen and Malmo drew to a close last Friday. Known as Nordic Clean Energy Week, the event gathered an influential and broad group of actors from the energy sphere, ranging from energy ministers and researchers from G20 economies, to companies and investors with the common goal of accelerating the global transition to a world powered by renewables.

On Thursday a group of executives from Microsoft, GE Power, Envision, Renault and other international companies took part in a digital roundtable in Copenhagen during Nordic Clean Energy Week. Hosted by the Danish TSO, Energinet, the roundtable discussed how new technologies and digitalisation will change the energy sector – and how the traditional energy sector and companies from other sectors can create new partnerships.
