70% reduction of CO2 emissions by 2030

Ongoing government commitment to the clean energy transition means we can provide a stable and predictable framework for your long-term investment.

Most recently, the Danish government and a majority of Parliament passed one of the most ambitious acts on reducing greenhouse emissions in the world. The Climate Act legally commits future governments to reduce greenhouse emissions by 70 % by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and towards net zero by 2050.

Booming cleantech industry brings sustainable growth

Sustainable development goes hand in hand with economic growth. Over the past four decades, Denmark's economy has grown almost 80%, while energy consumption remains largely unchanged.
