Following the Paris Agreement, nearly every country in the world agreed to cut Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions to ensure that temperature increases are kept “well below 2 degrees Celsius”. Though a huge political commitment at the time, the market has since moved fast to meet the requirements set by the Paris Agreement. Investments in R&D have increased, promising green technologies have matured and there have been ever-increasing investments in market-based renewable energy on the production side.
More and more businesses are looking to reduce their GHG emissions through obtaining their energy from green sources and ensuring the use of green energy and sustainable solutions throughout their value chains.
An intensified political focus has helped drive down the costs of renewable power production significantly. Solar and wind are now the cheapest known sources of new power production and can claim a healthy market share alongside the more established power generation sources of fossil fuel and nuclear.
This has paved the way for large cuts in emissions from the power and heating sectors, not in just Denmark and the Nordics, but also in the EU, where an ambitious target has been set to meet all of the power and heating needs of the 27 States via carbonless power sources by 2050.
