the regions invest in climate and energy
W
hen Denmark hosts the UN Climate Change Conference in December, the main target will be to achieve an international climate agreement to reduce worldwide emissions of CO2. This means that in future, we must utilise more renewable energy, and use energy more efficiently. The regions in Denmark put high priority
to helping to reorganise energy consumption and develop new, climate-friendly technologies. Central to these efforts are Denmark's six regional growth fora, which bring together companies, knowledge institutions, municipalities and regions. The growth fora have been vital in launching a wide range of initiatives in the area of energy use and climate adaption, which will also help to safeguard future growth and secure new workplaces. In this magazine, we focus on some of the innovative and promising initiatives launched and co-financed by the growth fora and the regions. such as the ambitious projects for the development of new cleantech solutions,
the work of reducing and streamlining energy consumption, and initiatives to support the development of sustainable energy. Denmark occupies a strong international position when it comes to developing ecofriendly technologies. The regional growth fora will help to benefit from these possibilities within one of the future's most important growth industries also when the climate conference has ended. We hope that the examples in this magazine may help to promote interest in creating eco-friendly solutions for the benefit of the climate, citizens, regional growth and employment.

Large-scale solar heating
The citizens demanded CO2-free district heating and they got it. From 2011 on, Dronninglund District Heating will supply half the town with heating based solely on the rays of the sun. The world's biggest solar thermal plant is on the way.

with a clear conscience
Daka Biodiesel manufactures biodiesel from slaughterhouse waste. In East Jutland, the term 'road hog' has taken on a whole new meaning.
