Denmark has been an early leader in decarbonisation and is inspiring many countries around the world. The technological transformation of Denmark’s energy system is fast and visible, notably in electricity with offshore wind, biomethane, district heating, and carbon capture and storage (CCS) development. Denmark is committed to ending fossil fuel production by 2050.
The Danish society is fully engaged in the energy transition through broad political agreements on energy and climate, which guide policy making and public-private partnerships. Denmark has robust energy and climate governance under the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities and “the year wheel” of the Climate Act of 2020 to ensure annual policy actions and funding are geared towards emissions reductions. Under the Act, Denmark also publishes every year a global climate impact report, analysing the climate and carbon footprint of its consumption.
