Ports and marine
Ports faciliate more than 80% of global trade, but are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, supply change disruptions and degrading environments. These complex challenges require sophisticated solutions that foster growth in balance with nature

Energy islands in 2030: Tackling Bornholm’s CO2 scarcity in relation to Power-to-X
The Danish Government recently approved the establishment of two energy islands by 2030 in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The conversion of the future massive amounts of electricity into other energy carriers through Power-to-X (P2X) technologies will play a key role in efficiently integrating the energy islands into the Danish energy system. But CO2 scarcity in relation to P2X is a challenge that has caught the attention of the Danish energy industry.
