In November 1997 the island of Samsø won a competition between five Danish islands. The challenge was to convert the island’s energy system to renewable energy within a period of 10 years. Today, Samsø is almost entirely independent of fossil fuels and 100% self-sufficient in terms of electricity supply. To learn more you can visit the Samso Energy Academy which has experiences with the implementation of a broad variety of local renewable energy projects, from wind turbines to CO2 neutral district heating plants, rapeseed oil tractors and solar energy panels. The Danish town of Sønderborg is currently working on becomming CO2 neutral. This project is called ProjectZero an its goal is to make Sønderborg entirely CO2 neutral by 2030. The area will be a role model for sustainable building, intelligent energy management and a sustainable way of life. Sønderborg will set the best examples for future housing, lifestyles and ways of doing business. |
