Denmark 2023
Denmark has a strong foundation for full energy sector integration, thanks to the integration of electricity and heat production, thermal storage from the district heating system, and ample
Denmark removed electricity and heat co-generation requirements for district heat to promote the electrification of the heating sector by giving heating companies more freedom with regards to which technology to adopt, such as geothermal. In 2020, fuel support schemes for natural gas were also removed.
The objective is to begin supplying geothermal heat to residents of Aarhus in the fall of 2025. In the long-term, the objective is a heating system in Aarhus that does not use any biomass that is not captured using CCS, with the exception of necessary waste incineration.
In addition, power from wind turbines and solar energy – associated with the City of Aarhus' entities – outside of the municipal boundaries can be included in the City of Aarhus' goal of greater self-sufficiency.
At the beginning of 2023, the Aarhus City Council pledged that all new construction over 1,000 m2 will comply with the low-emission class standard, which means a threshold value of max. 8 kg CO2e/m2/pr. year in 2024, falling to 5 kg CO2e/m2/pr. year in 2030. The City of Aarhus has started working with LCA assessment tools.
