FORCE Technology: Future energy supply in Denmark and globally

Future energy supply in Denmark and globally

- How do we meet the need for sustainable energy?

Denmark is known for renewable energy, but in relation to the need for new fuels for both shipping and other industries, a number of questions arise that we will debate at this go home meeting.

How do we ensure that enough green fuels can be produced for future needs when, for example, wind turbine power has to be converted into something else - and is that even realistic? And if it's not realistic, what is the solution? Should we also consider clean energies to meet the increasing global energy demand? Or maybe something completely different?

According to the information site http://www.fremtidensenergi.dk/, 78% of the world's energy supply today comes from traditional energy sources such as coal, oil and gas - the traditional fossil fuels. Renewable energy sources such as biomass, wind, solar and hydropower are increasingly gaining ground and currently cover around 20% of the world's energy consumption. The remaining two percent is covered by nuclear power.

So the overarching questions are, will alternatives to fossil fuels be able to meet global energy needs in 2030 and 2050? If so, what will it take and how will we get there? What will be the distribution key in the transition phase to clean fuels? Will some industries be prioritized over others? And where does the maritime industry stand in this context?

All this will be up for debate, so mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 9, 2022 from 3-6 p.m. We have a tight schedule, so please arrive in good time as we start very promptly. The event will also be live streamed, but it will only be possible to ask questions from the floor.
