North America is currently looking towards more renewable energy options and more energy efficient systems of operation, due to climate changes, rising cost of fossil fuels, social pressures, and stricter targets and goals for reducing GHG emissions set out by varying levels of government. Additionally the private sector, such as higher educational campuses and energy developers, is starting to understand the long term economic value of sustainable development and energy options.
Danish companies are uniquely situated to access this market as decades in developing low carbon district energy systems have placed them as global leaders in renewable district energy.
The Danish District Energy’s (DDEA) work is two-folded:
- To educate and share the knowledge on both sides of the Atlantic of best practices of designing and implementing low carbon district energy (district heating and district cooling) production and distribution in North America.
- To bridge the gap in the North American district energy market with Denmark’s decades of experience in energy distribution efficiency, sustainability, services, technologies and products.
