Stories from Denmark’s green transition

Denmark’s green transition holds many stories of being faced with a challenge and choosing to see and, crucially, act on its potential for sustainable change. And we felt that they deserved to be told by those, who live them. That’s why we have created Sound of Green.

Each episode, we shed light on a given global challenge that Denmark has turned into an opportunity for fostering green solutions. We do so by inviting experts, solution providers and action takers to share their knowledge and experiences as inspiration.

Conveyed in a short, accessible format, Sound of Green is for anyone who is curious about how Denmark approaches climate action. You can find all episodes below or on your favorite podcast app. We hope you will enjoy listening.

The Danish way of doing COP

When Denmark goes to the COP, both public and private actors come along to advocate for green progress. To understand what that looks like in practice, listen to our latest podcast episode.

Fueling the future with green hydrogen

In this episode, we explore why green hydrogen and power-to-x is a natural next step in the journey towards a future powered by renewable energy.

A world’s first in CO2 storage

The IPCC, the International Energy Association, and the European Union have all identified carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an important technological pathway for reducing CO2 emissions and achieving net zero.

Designing for sustainability in buildings

Buildings account for a staggering 40% of global energy consumption and are responsible for about 30% of global CO2 emissions. As such, it is imperative that we make both the existing building stock and future buildings energy efficient.

The cloudburst that changed Copenhagen and urban water management

From floods in Seoul to water scarcity in Cape Town, cities around the world are faced with the challenge of adapting their water management to more extreme and uncertain climate conditions. And Copenhagen has made important ground on how to do just that.

Sound of Green: A world's first in CO2 storage

6 September 2023
50 years ago, the late Prince Henrik of Denmark inaugurated the Danish extraction of oil and gas from the North Sea. 50 years later, on the 8th of March 2023, his son, Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark, took part in reversing the traffic in the pipelines in a greener direction. He sent the first ever CO2 down the pipes to be stored underground, marking the beginning of a new business adventure in the global green transition.

In the summer of 2011, Copenhagen experienced the most destructive cloudburst in the city's history. While the event was damaging, it also became the catalyst for a new way of approaching urban water management.
