Introduction: From coal, oil and gas to green energy Introduction: From coal, oil and gas to green energy 6 Energy Strategy 2050 – from coal, oil and gas to green energy. Energy Strategy 2050 fulfils the government’s pledge as set forth in its work plan “Denmark 2020”, that it would present a target for when Denmark is to become independent of fossil fuels, as well as a strategy to meet this target
The goal of the Danish government is independence from coal, oil and gas by 2050. With this move to fossil fuel independence, Denmark will also satisfy two other important ambitions: • Denmark will maintain a high security of supply and ensure stable, affordable energy supply. Security of supply will be a key challenge in a future, where the global demand for energy is growing in line with population growth and economic growth, and where the remaining oil and gas resources will be concentrated in few, and often politically unstable, countries. • Denmark will contribute to limiting global climate change as agreed in Copenhagen 2009 and in Cancún 2010. Therefore, Denmark must contribute to meeting the EU objective to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 by 80-95% compared with 1990 levels. This requires the transition to an economy with low greenhouse gas emissions. Denmark will maintain a high level of energy security of supply Figure 0.1. Effects of independence of fossil fuel Independence of fossil fuel In addition, the government’s strategy for fossil fuel independence will help secure and develop the strength of Danish companies within the fields of new green energy, climate and environmental technology. A stronger coupling between innovation, production and deployment will improve companies’ opportunities to take advantage of the increasing global demand for green technologies in order to create growth and employment. Energy Strategy 2050 fulfils the government’s pledge as set forth in its work plan “Denmark 2020”, that it would present a target for when Denmark is to become independent of fossil fuels, as well as a strategy to meet this target. At the same time, Energy Strategy 2050 supports and meets a number of Denmark’s ambitious targets in the climate and energy area in the government’s work plan, in the national energy agreement for 2008-2011, and as a consequence of the EU climate and energy package from 2008. Denmark will contribute its share to curbing global warming Demark will harvest opportunities for green growth and employment Energy Strategy 2050 – from coal, oil and gas to green energy. 7
