It comprises a regional overview of the current state and trends of selected energy systems, discussions on potential technological solutions to overcome barriers and an analysis of the energy strategy of the island Bornholm. The report forms the basis for further strategic energy planning of Energi Öresund, a European Union INTERREG IV A funded cross-border co-operation between Danish and Swedish municipalities, energy companies and universities across the Øresund region. It is the outcome of intensive course work on Strategic Environmental Development at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics (IIIEE) at Lund University in Sweden. The authors are students in MESPOM, an Erasmus Mundus funded Masters programme, and come from 11 countries. Photo Credit: “The Öresund Bridge from Underneath” by Marcus Bengtsson, taken July 2007.

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.

Kongedybet Hollænderdybet Middelgrunden Saltholm Flak 2 From Idea to Reality The idea of the Middelgrunden wind project was born in a group of visionary people in Copenhagen already in 1993. 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.

  • Developing Sustainable Cities in Sweden
    DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLE CITIES IN SWEDEN ABOUT THE BOOKLET This booklet has been developed within the Sida-funded ITP-programme: »Towards Sustainable Development and Local Democracy through the SymbioCity Approach« through the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR ), SKL International and the Swedish International Centre for Democracy (ICLD ). The purpose of the booklet is to introduce the reader to Sweden and Swedish experiences in the field of sustainable urban development, with special emphasis on regional and local government levels. Starting with a brief historical exposition of the development of the Swedish welfare state and introducing democracy and national government in Sweden of today, the main focus of the booklet is on sustainable planning from a local governance perspective. The booklet also presents practical examples and case studies from different municipalities in Sweden. These examples are often unique, and show the broad spectrum of approaches and innovative solutions being applied across the country.
