Danish Decoupling / Towards 2050
The Danish point of departure 1973-74 oil crisis 99% dependent on imported energy Growing public concerns about pollution The burning platform
The Danish example (1980 = index 100) Our economy has grown by 80% since 1980 Our energy consumption has remained the same While CO 2 emissions have been reduced GDP in 2000 prices Gross energy consumption, adjusted CO2 emissions, adjusted
Overview of RE and Fossil Fuels in Denmark Renewable Energy vs. Fossil Fuels Renewable Energy mix Renewable Energy Fossil fuels 27% 21% 8% 10% Waste Solid Biomass Biofuels Biogas 73% 4% 5% 52% Wind Other 2014 2014
Transition to a green growth economy 2020 targets > 35% renewable energy in final energy consumption by 2020 ~ 50% of electricity power to be supplied from Wind power by 2020 > 7.5% reduction in gross energy consumption by 2020 (compared to 2010 level) Challenges ahead How to create solutions that will not weaken the global competitiveness of Danish business and industry? Who is financing it? Infrastructural challenges for renewable energy and what about shale gas? 34% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 (compared to 1990 level)
Denmark a fossil fuel independent society by 2050 March 2012: New Danish energy agreement Oil & Gas consumption The agreement is characterised by its ambitious scope, the broad political agreement and long time horizon The target is 100% renewable energy in the energy and transport sectors by 2050 50% reduction target of energy consumption in Existing buildings by 2050 (compared to 2013 level) Coal to be phased out in electricity by 2030 Coal to be phased out for heating by 2035

Why green business is good business Increased demand for energy in the future Need for stable energy supply International demand for resource-efficient green solutions within energy, construction, environment and water Danish exports of green energy technology in 2013 close to EUR 5.09 billion Danish export of clean air technology up by 80% from nearly EUR 670 million in 2009 to nearly EUR 1.2 billion in 2013.
