Norway and Denmark: Energy business summit for a sustainable future
On the occasion of the visit to Denmark by HHMM King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway, Danish and Norwegian energy industry gathered in Copenhagen to discuss how to collaborate in the efforts to reduce carbon emissions from the energy industry. We discussed how to speed up the development of offshore wind, hydrogen and CCUS to re-create the North Sea as a hub for European sustainable energy generation.
It was agreed that the crux is in the implementation of plans at speed. Visibility of projects and scaling of industry was at the heart of discussions, while there were calls for a holistic and conceptual approach with grid, infrastructure, industry and regulations to match ambitions for the green transition of the European energy industry. We need to deploy all off our combined expertise at speed to the best of all and thereby not forget to keep the legitimacy of the changes we want to implement.
