3 Scandinavia’s most important marketplace for clean tech & energy solutions
Copenhagen 25-26 November 2008
COPENHAGEN CLIMATE SOLUTIONS is Scandinavia's largest marketplace for stakeholders within climate change, energy and clean tech. Taking form as a combined conference and exhibition, the event is the ideal place to advance solutions to tackle climate change. While the conference identifies current challenges and opportunities, the exhibition presents state of the art solutions for achieving a low carbon economy.
In 2007, COPENHAGEN CLIMATE SOLUTIONS brought together more than 600 decision makers from Scandinavia. In 2008, the aim is to gather 1.000 CEOs, environmental managers, politicians, clean tech investors, technical advisors, and buyers and sellers of the leading businesses and industries of Northern Europe.
Who will participate?
• CHIEF EXECUTIVES with an interest in • MANUFACTURERS OF CLEAN-TECH • DECISION MAKERS from ministries, contributing to a low carbon economy, SOLUTIONS within the field of sustainable regions and local governments, including including: managing directors, energy, construction, transport, water city managers, technical managers and environment managers, quality managers, technology, renovation, farming, etc. environment managers production managers, service managers, development managers, architects, • INVESTORS, including representatives • BUSINESS JOURNALISTS AND business leaders within the farming from banks and financing corporations, COMMUNICATION PROFESSIONALS industry and other stakeholders within venture and equity funds the field of energy efficiency, climate • ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT ADVISORS, solutions and sustainable development. • PHDS AND OTHER TOP STUDENTS CONSULTING ENGINEERS AND NGO REPRESENTATIVES

Copenhagen City is the capital of Denmark, the largest Danish municipality and the centre of the Danish-Swedish Oresund Region. Home to slightly more than 500,000 people, Copenhagen City covers an area of 91.3 sq. km. The City employs nearly 55,000 staff in its seven administrative units The environmental initiative dubbed ”Eco-Metropole – our vision CPH 2015” embodies Copenhagen City’s vision that by 2015, Copenhagen will be justifiably known as the capital in the world that has the best urban environment. The vision encompasses four themes: Copenhagen must become the centre for world climate policy, the world’s best city for cycles, a green and blue capital city, and a clean and healthy major city.

At Danisco, we take corporate social responsibility seriously and we believe that we can contribute to
developing more sustainable industrial processes that will lead to the reduction of CO2 emissions by the private sector. Through our cutting-edge innovation programmes, our enzyme products have enabled reduced usage of energy, water and even chemicals in industries as varied as textiles processing, detergents and grain processing. Particularly in the transportation sector, we foresee tremendous growth
and opportunity for CO2 reduction with the nascent cellulosic ethanol market.

Energy is essential for the society, for the whole world in fact. Energy creates growth and development. Energy is also about how we use the natural resources of the earth. Creating a sustainable energy supply requires expertise, creativity and a will to innovate. Only through development we can create a low carbon future with the requisite energy security.

The environment is Volvo’s core value
Quality, safety, and caring for the environment are the core conference on the human environment in Stockholm. In values in all of Volvo’s brands, and these values are what connection with the conference, Volvo’s new CEO formulated have made Volvo one of the most recognized businesses in Volvo’s first declaration of intent regarding environmental the world. Volvo wishes to be the world’s leading supplier of issues. It says: “Volvo now has a responsibility to ensure not commercial transportation solutions, and uses it’s know how only that their products are a functional form of transporta- to develop transportation related products of exceptional tion, but also that the products work properly in a wider per- quality, with the best safety and care for the environment. spective: our environment”. Through the years, Volvo’s engines have become cleaner Focus on the environment since 1972 measured in emissions, and Volvo has in fact stayed ahead Volvo decided on making the environment one of their key of legislation. Today, emissions from a modern heavy truck issues back in 1972. In that year, the United Nations held a are only a fraction of what they were ten years ago. In 1989, Volvo appointed an internal environmental atten- dant, who inspects the company’s facilities all over the world. The goal is to fulfill and even do better than all envi- ronmental rules prescribe. In 1991, Volvo presented a unique database on chemi- cals called Motiv. It contains a list of 4000 chemicals, sort- ed by the degree of danger. The use of several of these chemicals is now illegal and they have therefore been replaced by more environmentally sound alternatives. In many countries, introduction of similar classifications is being discussed. In 1995, Volvo revealed their environmentally optimized ECT (Environmental Concept Truck), which got great atten- tion all over the world. The truck runs on hybrid power, so that one can drive without emission in vulnerable areas. It is based on a gas turbine with an integrated high speed gen- erator and an electrical engine driven by nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries. Other innovative environmental friendly technologies include aerodynamic design and the use of recyclable materials.
60 Volvo has the technology to make green fuels COMPANY PRESENTATION No matter what fuels might enter the market in the future Volvo Trucks is prepared and has the necessary technology in place. The company has proven this by being the first truck manufacturer in the world that can present seven trucks, which have all been built to drive on non fossil fuel. The possibility of having CO2 neutral transportation is not limited by technology, but rather by the lack of accessibility
of alternative fuels. Volvo
Second generation of biofuels Volvo sees a significant potential in the second generation of biofuels. They have been produced by gasification of bio- mass, which gives a wide range of flexibility in that many kinds of raw fuel can be used to make many different fuels. Furthermore, the accessibility of raw fuels for gasification is far greater than the accessibility of soya-bean oil and rape seed oil, which is used to make biodiesel (FAME) today. For example, synthetic diesel, methanol, biogas and DME (dimethylether) can all be produced by gasification.
Hybrid technology in Volvo’s green engines Volvo has been successful in experimenting with hybrid technology and works with a new driveline that includes the Inspiring challenges new D7-engine and a whole truck that has been built A decade later, in the spring of 2006, Volvo presented a around the D9 engine.

CO2 neutral production An important goal in Volvo’s efforts to improve the environ- ment is to make the Volvo Truck facilities completely CO2 neutral. The first CO2 neutral facilities was the plant in Ghent in Belgium, and this was followed by the Tuve plant in Gothenburg, Sweden. The final goal is to make all produc- tion CO2 neutral and the big plants must fulfill this goal before 2008.

- reduce your carbon foot print
You know it all too well! Modern society’s energy consumption and consequently emission of CO2 leads to a greenhouse effect. However, what you may not be aware of is that the even minor choices we make in our everyday lives may influence CO2 emissions in a positive way, and that this has greater effect than you might think.
Every time you take the train instead of the car or the plane, you are actively contributing to reducing CO2 emissions. For instance, if you take the regional train instead of the car on a daily commuter trip of 20 kilometres each way, you save approx. 1 tonne of CO2 in a year. And if you commute longer than that, you save even more.
Reduce your CO emission now.
