AT A GLANCE<br />
Transition to greener energy generation<br />
at the power stations<br />
Thermal Power generates electricity and heat from thermal power stations. Most electricity and<br />
heat is generated at central coal-fired, gas-fired and biomass-fired CHP plants in Denmark and at<br />
new gas-fired power stations in Norway, the Netherlands and the UK. In the years to come, it is<br />
expected that coal and gas can largely be replaced by biomass at the Danish power stations. This<br />
will reduce CO emissions significantly for a substantial part of the heat supply in large Danish<br />
2<br />
cities. Work is also in progress to make generation more flexible so that it can be better aligned to<br />
the varying generation by wind turbines.<br />
Biomass is an important resource in the energy system of the future. Based on new refining technologies,<br />
innovative solutions are being developed for efficient and flexible utilisation of waste<br />
and biomass for both energy and other resources, for example nutrients.<br />
