Regional Bioeconomy Profile Central Denmark (Dk) Policy REGIONAL BIOECONOMY PROFILE CENTRAL DENMARK (DK) POLICY Structure of the Bioeconomy Institutional system Info source: Region Responsible Regional Region Midtjylland Authorities / Agencies Central Denmark Region Website (http://www.rm.dk/om+os/english) List of " bioeconomy-relevant" regional policy initiatives Regional Bioeconomy N.A.1 Smart Specialisation Strategy REGIONAL BIOECONOMY RELATED POLICY INITIATIVES The Re-gional Development Plan 2012 The plan is a joint long-term strategy for the Central Denmark Regional Council, the 19 municipalities of the Region, the business community, educational institutions, etc. Sustainability in terms of giving equal considera- tion to social, economic, and environmental factors is a bearing principle of the plan. The plan contains 8 focus areas, incl. “Environment and Energy” and “Climate Change Adaptation” Link: http://www.rm.dk/files/Regional udvikling/English/regional_developmentplan.pdf Growth Forum’s Business Development Strategy 2010-2020 Growth Forum is a partnership between businesses, unions, and employer organisation, education and research institutes, as well as the 19 municipalities and the Region. Large strategic and durable initiatives are priori- tized. Among the main 8 target sectors are energy and environment as well as foodstuff. Link:http://www.rm.dk/files/Regionaludvikling/Vækstforum/Erhvervsudviklingsstrategi2010_2020/Growth Fo- rum's Business Development Strategy 2010-2020.pdf 1 Currently, the Regional Development Plan and Growth Forum’s Development Strategy are being adjusted and integrated into one overall strategy (expected approval end of 2015). A coherent, Regional Bioeconomy Action Plan is being prepared. Growth Forum’s Action Plan 20152 Bioeconomy is a target area under development within Growth Forum’s Action Plan 2015. De-velopment of the area draws on a number of specific initiatives under the former action plan 2013-14, e.g. the areas “Energy and Clean Tech”, “Foodstuffs”, “Circular Economy” (as mentioned below). Energy and Clean Tech A large number of PPP large scale demonstration projects comprising production, conversion and end usage technologies have been conducted under the program “Biomass to energy”. Amongst others: BIOM: a project aimed at increasing bioenergy production without compromising food pro-duction by utilizing marginal agricultural areas for production of biomass for energy purpos-es.

Distribution networks are rarely the centre of heated public debates. However, their crucial role in facilitating a transition towards cleaner and more distributed ener- gy sources is widely recognised among both market players and policy makers. Distribution System Operators (DSOs) will need - even more than today – to be the flexible backbone of the electricity system, dealing with both fluctuating production, and flexible consumption at the same time. This requires policies which incentivise in- vestments in innovation, maintenance and expansion of distributions grids.

  • Reusing Old Bricks in North Jutland
    From demolition waste to circular construction through partnerships – Reusing old bricks in North Jutland Master’s Thesis – Alessia Santoro Cities and Sustainability (CiSu) Aalborg University https://www.building-supply.dk/article/view/394608/ny_byskole_er_bygget_af_gamle_mursten Preface The present report has been conducted by a student enrolled in the Cities and Sustainability Master’s Program at Aalborg University in Aalborg, Denmark. The author has a study background on construction obtained back in her country, Italy. The report is illustrated in relation to the circular economy system and focuses on the reuse of bricks in Denmark and follows the PBL (Problem Based Learning) approach that is promoted by the university. In this regard, it uses as a study case North Jutland after providing a national analysis of three main concepts i.e. construction waste and management, waste hierarchy and circular economy as well as their connection. Additionally, is used an already redacted LCA to sustain the theories used. Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisors Henrik Riisgaard for his support and guidance throughout the process of conducting this report. I believe that without his help the outcome of the present report would have not been appropriate. Additionally, I would like to thank my interviewees: Svend Roed Larse, Claus Juul Nielsen and Kurt Brandi for making the time to talk with me and help me with gathering the relevant information for to reach the outcome of the present report. I would love to dedicate the effort dedicated to write this thesis to my Mom, that I am sure, would be proud of me by seeing me reaching this final stage.

    STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL The Danish government’s long-term vision is that Denmark becomes independent of fossil fuels. Municipalities have the local knowledge that can ensure political anchoring and commitment from citizens and local businesses to the green transition of the energy system and the economy. In their capacity as local planning and land-use authority, as owner of supply and transport companies, and as a major consumer, the municipalities are in a unique position to facilitate change. A program with 3.3 mill. EUR was launched in 2014 to support municipal strategic energy planning, providing a 50% grant for the projects. Strengthening partnerships: Cost-effective transition to green growth: • Vertically – state, region, municipality • Mapping energy efficiency and renewable energy resources • Horizontally – across municipalities • Analysing energy futures and strategic choices • Locally – businesses, supply companies, municipality • Setting targets and action plans • Internally – municipal administrations • Demonstrating green solutions • Democratically – citizens and interest organisations In total, 14 partnership projects for strategic energy planning were initiated with each their unique partnership structure and with each their individual energy perspective. The support program aimed at demonstrating different types of partnerships and tackle different aspects of a cost-effective transition to green growth. The 14 projects include 6 regional projects (in the five Danish regions) and 8 projects involving a smaller number of municipalities.

  • Landsdækkende Screening Af Geotermi I 28 Fjernvarmeområder
    Landsdækkende screening af geotermi i 28 fjernvarmeområder Bilag 3: Områderapport for Aarhus Indholdsfortegnelse – Introduktion – Data for fjernvarmeområder (COWI) – Beregning af geotermianlæg (DFG) – Beregningsresultater vedr. indpasning af geotermi (Ea) – Geologisk vurdering (GEUS) Introduktion Dette er én ud af 28 områderapporter, som viser specifikke økonomiske og produktionsmæssige resultater for hvert enkelt område. Rapporten er et bilag til hovedrapporten ”Landsdækkende screening af geotermi i 28 fjernvarmeområder”, og bør læses i sammenhæng med denne, da hovedrapporten indeholder information, der er væsentlig for at forstå resultatet. Rapporten er udarbejdet for Energistyrelsen af Dansk Fjernvarmes Geotermiselskab, COWI og Ea Energianalyse i perioden efteråret 2013 til sommeren 2015. Områderapporten indeholder den af GEUS udførte geologiske vurdering, COWIs beskrivelse af fjernvarmeområdet og den fremtidige forsyningsstruktur, Dansk Fjernvarmes Geotermiselskabs beregninger af de økonomiske og tekniske forhold i et geotermianlæg i fjernvarmeområdet, og Ea Energianalyses modelresultater fra Balmorel med varmeproduktionskapaciteter, fjernvarmeproduktion og -omkostninger over året for de fire scenarier i årene 2020, 2025 og 2035. Resultaterne skal tages med en række forbehold. Først og fremmest skal det understreges, at der er tale om en screening med det formål at give en indikation af mulighederne for geotermi. Der er ikke foretaget en fuldstændig analyse af den optimale fremtidige fjernvarmeforsyning i området. Den geologiske vurdering er alene foretaget for en enkelt lokalitet, svarende til en umiddelbart vurderet fordelagtig placering af geotermianlægget. Der kan derfor ikke drages konklusioner om hele områdets geologisk potentiale og den optimale placering for et eventuelt geotermianlæg. Modellering af områdets nuværende og forventede fremtidige fjernvarmeproduktion og -struktur er sket ud fra de data, som de var oplyst og forelå i år 2013.
