Reality Check or Crisis? The State of Denmark’s Green Transition 🌱⚡ Recent political developments have sparked concerns about Denmark’s ability to meet its ambitious 2030 climate goals. With reductions in offshore wind targets, delays in renewable expansion, and the partial rollback of the CO2 tax for fisheries, some see a growing risk of failure. I do not think necessarily it is a crisis - more of a "reality check" - We can move faster on certain issues. But the technology push needs to be realistic. Remember that: ✅ Political targets on renewable energy electricity were initially set too high, and now they are being adjusted to align with market conditions. We do have 65% wind power and solar PV in the mix. And many projects are ready to jump on board with higher electricification. ✅ Despite setbacks, the heat sector is steadily phasing out fossil fuels. EV adoption is surpassing expectations. Yes, challenges exist, but not everything is failing—far from it. Instead of focusing on what isn’t working, we should recognize the strong momentum behind Denmark’s green transformation. In the coming half year it will be important with 1) more district heating role out, 2) more small and large heat pumps, 3) more waste heat recovery and geothermal successes, 4) continued electrification of transport, 5) the CO2 levy effect on industry to improve energy efficiency and electrification, 6) momentum in agricultural agreements locally, 7) the success rate of onshore "energy parks" and last but not least the agreements on a 2030 hydrogen grid to Germany as well as the agreement of a new smaller offshore tender (hopefully with a CfD mechanism). #GreenTransition #Denmark #ClimateGoals #RenewableEnergy

@henrikssommer @AndreasNyholm1 Med cirka 5% større elforbrug kombineret med en meget beskeden udbygning giver stagnation meget god mening.
