North Atlantic Energy Network January 2016 Grønlandsudvalget 2015-16 GRU Alm.del Bilag 32 Offentligt North Atlantic Energy Network January 2016 Orkustofnun (OS) - National Energy Authority of Iceland Norges Arktiske Universitet (UiT) - The Arctic University of Norway Energy Styrelsen - Danish Energy Agency Jarðfeingi - Faroese Earth and Energy Directorate Shetland Islands Council - Economic Development Service Greenland Innovation Centre 1 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The aim of the North Atlantic Energy Network project was to investigate how isolated energy systems in the North Atlantic can be connected to Norway and Greenland to form an electrical grid in the North Atlantic. Representatives of Greenland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Shetland and Norway met in Copenhagen in the end of February 2015 to formulate how to tackle this question. Each country documented its status regarding energy production and potentials in the fields of renewable energy and the technological aspects were investigated. Greenland has a big hydropower and solar energy potential, which is not known in detail. Further work is needed to map the potentials. Due to lack of infrastructure and experience a cable connection between Greenland and the neighbouring countries is not realistic in the nearest future. It is technically possible to connect all of the neighbouring countries around Iceland with subsea cables. Iceland now produces about 18 TWh of electricity per year and could have the potential to double the production from geothermal and hydropower alone. There are many unclear aspects that need to be investigated further to draw a full picture of the pros and cons of interconnectors from Iceland. The legal and regulatory framework must be in place before a project of this kind can be realized and extensive grid reinforcements are needed to support export through a cable at a single connection point in Iceland. A 100 MW cable between Iceland and Faroe Islands is possible but might not be economically competitive. Faroe Islands and Shetland have offshore wind conditions on land and large windfarms in Faroe Islands need powerful interconnectors. A large cable from Iceland to Scotland could be laid via the Faroes and Shetland and could possibly transmit energy from Iceland, Shetland and Faroe Islands to Scotland and Europe. A probable synergy effect could be to transmit hydropower from Iceland in summer and windpower from Faroes and Shetland in winter. The submission of Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission’s (SHE-T) needs case for developing a 600 MW transmission cable between Shetland and the UK national grid, is expected to be submitted to the UK electricity regulator Ofgem in 2016. The Shetland to UK interconnector project has been in process for over a decade and is the main focus for harnessing Shetland’s exceptional wind resource. The North Atlantic Energy Network has highlighted the potential for Iceland and Faroe Islands to export renewable energy to electricity markets in the UK, Norway and connect to the wider European grid. Cable routes from Iceland to the UK are currently being investigated and Faroe Islands also have an interest in securing a supply of renewable energy from Iceland. Although the NAEN project has the potential for localized introduction of electricity from renewable resources for both Shetland and oil platforms along the cable route, the economic benefit seems reduced with respect to Norwegian interest. This especially so with the new HVDC subsea interconnector to Great Britain to be finished in 2021. The North Atlantic Energy Network has explored the potential of connecting some of the best renewable energy sources in the Arctic, Nordic and northern European regions to the large energy markets of the UK and European continent. The project has allowed informative exchange of knowledge between the participating regions and organisations. Access and utilization of renewable energy is a key element in fighting global warming. The countries behind the NAEN project could benefit from integrated future cooperation regarding exporting energy and knowledge in this field in the widest sense. A platform to develop this cooperation and mapping the possibilities for future development in this area could be beneficial for all of Europe. 3 4 Table of Contents Introduction ............................................................................................................................................. 7 Conclusion ............................................................................................................................................... 7 Energy markets in Europe ....................................................................................................................... 8 The North Atlantic Energy network ......................................................................................................... 9 Financing cables ................................................................................................................................ 10 Installation cost ................................................................................................................................. 10 Bipolar v.s.

Abstract In order to investigate how Inuit Greenlanders in western Greenland are experiencing, responding to, and thinking about recent allegedly human-induced climate change, this dissertation ethnographically examines the lives of Greenlanders as well as Norse and Danes in the course of past historical natural climate cycles. My emphasis is on human endeavours to cultivate a future in the face of difficulties caused by climatic and environmental transformation. I recognize locals’ initiatives to carve out a future in the promotion of sheep farming and tree-planting in southern Greenland and in adaptation processes of northern Greenlandic hunters to the ever-shifting environment.

  • Renewable Energy Across the Arctic: Greenland Report
    Renewable energy across the Arctic: Greenland Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Greenland has been partly self-supplying with energy since 1993 by help of hydropower plants. The national energy production is increasing, but Greenland still depends on imported oil, primarily gas oil, diesel and petrol. Greenland has firm green ambitions – and potentials – in the energy sector. The Government of Greenland is committed to developing new hydropower plants in five communities and to invest in renewable energy for small, isolated settlements (Government of Greenland, coalition agreement 2016-2018). By pairing large-scale industry with renewable energy, Greenland can take a lead position in sustainable business. A central driver for the Government of Greenland’s commitment to renewable energy is an urge for a self-sustained economy and financial independence from subsidies from Denmark. When replacing imported fossil fuels with national energy production, the Government of Greenland supports the national economy while reducing CO2-emissions. Many communities in Greenland are small, and the grid comprises today 69 decentralized, stand-alone energy systems with no option for the distribution of renewable energy. However, two cities – Qaqortoq and Narsaq - are connected to the same hydro power plant in Qorlortorsuaq. Size matters in Greenland, as the country has an area greater than Mexico and with some communities very remote. The potential for hydropower is far from exhausted. New plants are already further analyzed, developed and in pipeline for five communities: Aasiaat, Qasigiannguit, Maniitsoq, Paamiut and Nanortalik. With more hydropower on the local grids, electric and hybrid cars can replace the use of gasoline and diesel. First- movers have already been out for some years, and more power stations are key to leverage.

  • Archaeological Investigations in Vatnahverfi, Greenland 2008
    Archaeological Investigations in Vatnahverfi, Greenland 2008 Season Preliminary Report Konrad Śmiarowski Northern Science &Education Center CUNY Graduate School and University Center 365 Fifth Avenue. New York, NY 10016 [email protected] - 1 - Konrad Smiarowski Greenland - Vatnahverfi 2008 Summary July and August 2008 was the fourth season of the collaborative Norse Settlement in the Vatnahverfi Region, South Greenland ca. AD 985 – 1450 Project. The Danish Middle Ages & Renaissance Department at The Danish National Museum and the Greenland National Museum and Archives (NKA) collaborated with the Northern Science and Education Center at City University of New York (NORSEC/CUNY) to complete an archaeological project in Southwestern Greenland, in the Qaqortoq Municipality. The project is part of a larger NABO (North Atlantic Biocultural Organization) and IPY (International Polar Year) program Human Ecodynamics in the North Atlantic, which works to coordinate international interdisciplinary projects in the Shetlands, Faroes, Iceland, and Greenland (see www.nabohome.org). The overall main objectives for this field season were to continue excavations of human burials (started in 2007) in the churchyard of a middle-sized Norse farm, Ø64 – Innoqquasaq, and take ancient DNA soil samples from multiple sites by the Danish team. The main objective of the CUNY crew was to test organic preservation, locate datable patches of cultural deposit, and recover a sample of ecofacts and artifacts from the midden layers at the same site. The field participants were Dr. Jette Arneborg (Project director), Dr. Martin Applet, Christian Koch Madsen, and Caroline Paulsen from The Danish National Museum, and Konrad Śmiarowski (CUNY team supervisor), Francis Feeley, Aaron Kendall from CUNY.
