Wind Power Potential


Minister of Energy, Supply and Climate Lars Chr. Lilleholt decided on 30 November 2018 to reserve large parts of the Danish waters for governmental expansion of offshore wind. Fields framed in red are reserved earlier and the blue areas are new reservations – Press release.

Denmark currently has 15 offshore wind farms, with a capacity of 1,699 MW (25 PJ) and other 4,924 MW (73 PJ) decided by 2030. Including existing onshore wind turbines, 123 PJ will be reached in 2030. The mapping above shows good locations for 12,400 MW (185 PJ) offshore wind – more than enough to meet our 55% renewable target for 2030 and halfway to meet the ambitious 2050 target (507 PJ wind) – Annex population.


In order to reach the 2050 goal, the sea wind must be exploited more intensively, and land areas included. The government therefore removes the ceiling over the height of onshore wind turbines - Ministry of Business Administration order September 10, 2019. This means that the number of onshore wind turbines will be reduced from the current approx. 4,300 to max 1,850 by 2030. With 12 MW turbines – like the new GE Haliade-X - this equates to 330 PJ. The energy loss associated with electrofuels will be compensated by new and dedicated engines and process heat recovery.

Go to Climate Change Overview   Understanding Global Warming Temperature is getting more pleasant Figure 1.   Hadley Centre Central England Temperature (HadCET) dataset + DMI+ NOAH The CET dataset represents the world’s longest continuous instrumental temperature record. Danish temperature data have been superimposed for comparison. The earliest Danish measurements were taken from the top of the Round Tower in Copenhagen and subsequently converted to a national average, with an estimated uncertainty of ±0.5 °C. Also shown are global temperature values from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), adjusted by adding 13.7 °C (the IPCC’s assumed preindustrial average) plus global anomaly for 1980 +0.51 °C, resulting in an approxima...

Go to Climate Change Overview   Understanding Global Warming Scientists and a Summary Global warming calls for ingenuity, innovation and entrepreneurship. In order to attract venture capital, it is necessary to understand the task, its opportunities and risks. With an extent from the Arctic Ocean to the Baltic Sea, there are in the Kingdom of Denmark special interests and opportunities to examine the ongoing changes. Researchers are mentioned in random order. Figure 1. Thanks to Danish Willi Dansgaard, we know a lot about the temperature of the past. Here analyzed by Ole Humlum. The green curve models the cyclical factors found. The superimposed historical events help to recognize the time axis. The warm periods found in our northern provinces are mirrored in Southern Denmark. Willi Dansgaard. In the 1950s, Willi Dansga...

Understanding Global Warming - Oversigt

Go to Climate Change Overview Understanding Global Warming Oversigt The Kingdom of Denmark is a mighty area that extends from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Baltic Sea to the south. Every thousand years we experience a Warm Period coinciding with a half Super Grand Solar Cycle. We are almost two hundred years into the current Modern Warm Period. It is associated with milder weather and more rainfall, but more extreme weather is not yet recorded. No climate change is felt in the garden here in Skanderborg. The summers are as balmy as in my boyhood. Sometimes we can skate on the lake and often we can not. Looking further into our entire kingdom, a pattern of variation is observed that repeats itself within a man's lifetime. If we also look far back in time, archaeological variations are traced that repeat themselves every thousand years and give an ex...
