6 FAQs about [Danish investment in energy storage projects]
What is the Danish Center for energy storage?
Danish Center for Energy Storage, DaCES, is a partnership that covers the entire value chain from research and innovation to industry and export in the field of energy storage and conversion. The ambition of DaCES is to strengthen cooperation, sharing of knowledge and establishment of new partnerships between companies and universities.
Can hydrogen fuelled compressed air energy storage help decarbonise the Danish energy system?
Keith McGrane, Corre Energy CEO, confirms: “As a pioneer of hydrogen fuelled Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) projects in Europe, we see the complementary application of hydrogen-based storage systems and electrolysis as a fundamental enabler to achieving the full decarbonisation of the Danish energy system.
Who invests in Stiesdal storage technologies?
The energy and fibre-optic group Andel invests DKK 75m (EUR 10m) in Stiesdal Storage Technologies. The ambition is to take pumped thermal electricity storage to a new level. The green transition is well under way, and increasingly larger energy volumes are produced from renewable energy sources such as wind and solar.
Should Denmark prepare a green infrastructure master plan?
The IEA report also recommends preparing a green infrastructure master plan at the regional level, as Denmark assumes the Presidency of the North Sea Energy Cooperation in 2024. Such a plan would help to lower cost and de-risk investment. This includes power grids, CO2 and hydrogen networks.
Does Denmark have a reliance on fossil fuels?
The district heating sector has practically phased out coal, helping lower the reliance on fossil fuels in Denmark’s total energy supply (TES) from 75% in 2011 to 53% in 2022, well below the IEA average of 79%. Denmark is committed to ending fossil fuel production by 2050.
What are Denmark's wind and solar deployment targets?
Denmark’s deployment targets are impressive: by 2030, onshore wind and solar power generation are to quadruple. Offshore wind capacity is targeted to increase potentially sevenfold to 18 gigawatts (GW) by 2030 and 35 GW by 2050, from today’s 2.3 GW.
