A Perfect Climate for Change - Daikin in Denmark

For Daikin, the answer lies in more than market size. Denmark combines ambitious climate targets, a strong demand for sustainable heating solutions, and a uniquely collaborative clean tech ecosystem. Together, this creates an ideal environment to accelerate the shift from fossil-based heating to energy-efficient heat pumps at scale.

Denmark as a Launchpad for Sustainable Heating

Denmark is an ideal place to develop, test and scale green solutions. An estimated 400,000 Danish households are expected to replace gas and oil boilers in the coming years. This transition, supported by clear government direction and strong public backing, creates a real-world setting where clean heating technologies can be deployed quickly and refined for wider European rollout.

For Daikin, operating in one of Europe’s most advanced sustainability markets provides a competitive edge when expanding to other countries.

Turning Ambition into Action

A successful green transition requires more than technology. Awareness and skills matter. Daikin’s investment in Denmark therefore goes beyond products, focusing on:

  • Raising awareness among end users about the benefits of heat pumps

  • Strengthening installer capacity through training and experience centres

  • Supporting the wider ecosystem needed to replace fossil heating at scale


Denmark’s close collaboration between business, public authorities and research institutions makes it easier to turn climate ambition into practical solutions.
