For the Danes, green energy is as natural as oil is for the Arabs. Denmark has been among the leaders in Europe for years. More than 30% of its energy consumption is renewable. And the northern Europeans are determined to hold on to this lead by investing billions in various projects for the future.
The largest and most exciting project to date is the construction of a gigantic energy island 80 kilometers off the coast where electricity generated from hundreds of wind turbines will be collected for transportation and processing purposes. It is a project that shows that Denmark does not just want to produce green energy for itself. No, it also wants to become a major exporter.
Another project that fits in with this ambition was announced last week by the Haldor Topsøe company. The Lyngby-based company is planning to build a plant for so-called “solid oxide electrolyser cells” (SOEC).
