OVERVIEW AND PROCESS FOR ESTABLISHING THE PLAN 1.1 Executive Summary (i) Political, economic, environmental, and social context of the plan On 27 June 2019 a new Danish Government was formed. The Social Democrats reached agreement with the Red-Green Alliance, the Social Liberal Party and the Socialist People’s Party to form a one-party minority Government led by the Social Democrats. The parties agreed to the document titled A fair direction for Denmark. The parties agreed that the Government will promote a sustainable policy under which Denmark resumes leadership of the green transition, significantly increases its ambitions concerning the climate, environment and nature, and ensures that Denmark is in compliance with the Paris Agreement. The Government has the ambition of being among the world governments that do most – both domestically and abroad – to combat climate change and the deterioration of our environment and nature. In order to reach those targets, a very significant effort will be required throughout the tenure of the Government, which must take place in a socially balanced way. On December 6, 2019 the Government reached an agreement on a new Climate Act with 8 out of the 10 parties in the Danish Parliament. The act will include a legally binding target to reduce greenhouse gases by 70% by 2030 (relative to 1990 level), to reach net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest, and to set milestone targets based on a five-year cycle. It is stated in A fair direction for Denmark that a reduction target by 70% by 2030 is a very ambitious goal, and it will be particularly difficult to realise the last part of the goal, i.e. from 65% to 70%. This will require currently unknown methods and, therefore, also a close collaboration with the Danish Council on Climate Change and other experts. The climate act will be followed by climate action plans, which will contribute to ensuring that national reduction targets are met. The Climate Action Plan in 2020 will include sector strategies and indicators as a minimum for central sectors as agriculture, transport, energy, construction and industry. Moreover, Denmark has already taken the first steps towards establishing a professional and efficient energy sector as the basis for the transition to a sustainable green society. In June 2018 all Parties of the Danish Parliament at the time reached a political Energy Agreement to further build Denmark’s international positions of strength with a focus on renewable energy, energy efficiency improvements, research and development and energy regulation. The measures and policies decided in the agreement are now in the process of being implemented. 5 (ii) Strategy relating to the five dimensions of the Energy Union Decarbonisation - GHG emissions and removals On December 6, 2019 the Government reached an agreement on a new Climate Act with 8 out of the 10 parties in the Danish Parliament. The act will include

To date the Treaty has been signed or acceded to by fifty-one states 1. The Treaty was developed on the basis of the European Energy Charter of 1991. Whereas the latter document was drawn up as a declaration of political intent to promote East-West energy co-operation, the Energy Charter Treaty is a legally- binding multilateral instrument covering investment protection, liberalisation of trade, freedom of transit, dispute settlement and environmental aspects in the energy sector. The Energy Charter Conference, the governing and decision-making body for the Energy Charter Treaty, meets on a regular basis - normally twice a year - to discuss policy issues affecting East-West energy co-operation, review implementation of the provisions of the Treaty, and consider possible new instruments and projects on energy issues.

    Case Study: Passivsystems Working with Dong Energy in Denmark

    CONFIDENTIAL Case Study: PassivSystems working with Dong Energy in Denmark Introduction to the Danish Energy Market Following the oil crisis in the 1970s, Denmark set out to become energy self-sufficient. Consequently, as concerns over carbon emissions grew in the 1980s, Denmark found itself with relatively high carbon dioxide emissions per capita, primarily due to the coal-fired electrical power plants that had become the norm after the energy crisis. Denmark has been self-reliant on energy since 1999, with significant oil and gas production in the North Sea, and is a net exporter of energy. Denmark is the second largest producer of oil in the EU and oil plays an important role in the energy mix. Natural gas and renewable sources have been gradually replacing solid fuels and oil in primary energy supply. However, imported coal is an important fuel in electricity generation. Transport (34%) and households (28%) are the most energy-consuming sectors. Denmark demonstrates the lowest energy intensity among EU Member States, although due to the high presence of fossil fuels in the energy mix, CO2 per capita production and intensity are significantly higher than the EU average More recently Denmark has set itself strong targets for carbon reduction and the elimination of fossil fuels, with 35% of energy to be delivered from renewables by 2020 and 100% by 2050. Renewable energy has experienced a significant growth since the late 1980s with both wind and energy from waste contributing to energy production. Currently 25% of energy generation and over 40% of electricity comes from renewable sources, which by far exceed the EU averages.

However it took seven years and a lot of work before the first cooperatively owned offshore wind farm became a reality. Today the 40 MW wind farm with twenty modern 2 MW wind turbines developed by the Middelgrunden Wind Turbine Cooperative and Copenhagen Energy Wind is producing electricity for more than 40,000 households in Copenhagen. In 1996 the local association Copenhagen Environment and Energy Office took the initiative of forming a working group for placing turbines on the Middelgrunden shoal and a proposal with 27 turbines was presented to the public. At that time the Danish Energy Authority had mapped the Middelgrunden shoal as a potential site for wind development, but it was not given high priority by the civil servants and the power utility.

Anna Italy Corresponding e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: This paper uses sectoral systems of innovation framework to examine the relationship between technology policy and industrial development by comparing the emergence of the wind energy sector in Denmark and India. Since the late 1970s Denmark has led the development of a global wind energy industry and in 2004 wind energy supplied 18,8% percent of Denmark’s electricity consumption. India was however a late entrant that managed in a few years to establish itself as the fifth largest producer of wind energy in the world. We suggest that India’s unique policy of ‘interactive learning’ with international and especially Danish actors, instead of imitation of foreign technology policies and institutions, was a substantial contributor to India’s success in developing their wind energy industry. Key words: Wind energy industry; Denmark; India; sectoral systems of innovation Jel codes: O38; Q48 ISBN 978- 87-7873-247-7 www.druid.dk 1 ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Introduction We begin this paper by looking at the evolution of the renewable energy sector globally and namely development of wind energy sector. In the later part of this section, we will discuss the wind energy sector in our case countries, i.e., Denmark and India.

    4 Wind Energy in Denmark

    4 Wind energy in Denmark 4.1 Introduction 4.1.1 Poul la Cour and F.L. Smidth Denmark’s experience with wind turbines that produce electricity started before 1973. The Danish physics professor and wind pioneer Poul la Cour began experimenting with wind generated electricity in 1891 (Gipe, 1995). La Cour was a very versatile scientist, who combined knowledge obtained from machine construction, electrical engineering and aerodynamics with craft pragmatism (Heymann, 1995). Around 1903, he developed the 'Klapsejler', a simple, robust and reliable windmill that produced direct current electricity (Heymann, 1998). This windmill helped introduce electricity into Denmark’s countryside and helped Denmark overcome severe fossil fuel shortages during the Second World War. La Cour saw electricity as a progressive force in the restructuring of society. He was engaged in several activities for public enlightenment (Jørgensen and Karnøe, 1995). In order to solve the problem of the intermittent nature of the wind, he combined wind turbines with storage of electrical energy by way of batteries and by separating water. With financial support from the Danish government, he improved the aerodynamic design of the blades and designed a wind turbine with two, three or four narrow blades. During the Second World War, another type of windmill was built: F.L. Smidth’s more modern Aeromotor. Smidth used the experience he had gained by working with concrete while building concrete wind turbine towers. He used knowledge from the rapidly advancing field of aerodynamics to develop modern airfoils for the turbine blades. The laminated wooden blades of the turbine were coned towards the tower (Gipe, 1995).

    21, rue d’Artois, F-75008 PARIS B1_106_2010 CIGRE 2010 http : //www.cigre.org NorNed – World’s longest power cable J.E. SKOG H. van ASTEN T. WORZYK T. ANDERSRØD Statnett TenneT ABB Nexans Norway The Netherlands Sweden Norway SUMMARY The NorNed cable was commissioned on 6 May 2008 after three years of intensive engineering and construction. It was important for this efficient implementation that a core project team had been maintained over a relatively long period, preparing all licences, all major supply contracts, etc. The paper will describe the way of detailed engineering, manufacturing and installing altogether 1160 km of high voltage cable, some of it in form of a two core cable and a major part as ordinary single- core cable. The strict magnetic compass deviation requirements as well as environmental concerns related to the magnetic field set up by a single cable led to the special two-core mass-impregnated cable used in the NorNed project. In the northerly deeper part of the cable route ordinary single-core cable was applied. The North Sea is a rough working place and the work scope offshore was far beyond all other known submarine power cable projects. How NorNed managed the resulting challenges is being described. The extensive offshore jointing activities have resulted in experiences which are important for future projects of a similar kind. After having been laid, the cables were protected by water jet trenching over close to 97% of the cable route. The rest, including the crossings, has been given protection by rock dumping. Following successful after installation test NorNed experienced two offshore cable failures and had to mobilise extra vessel spreads in order to get the situation restored.
