3 FAQs about [Danish energy storage solution]
What is the Danish Center for energy storage?
Danish Center for Energy Storage, DaCES, is a partnership that covers the entire value chain from research and innovation to industry and export in the field of energy storage and conversion. The ambition of DaCES is to strengthen cooperation, sharing of knowledge and establishment of new partnerships between companies and universities.
Does Denmark have a reliance on fossil fuels?
The district heating sector has practically phased out coal, helping lower the reliance on fossil fuels in Denmark’s total energy supply (TES) from 75% in 2011 to 53% in 2022, well below the IEA average of 79%. Denmark is committed to ending fossil fuel production by 2050.
How does a new energy storage system work?
The new storage system, called GridScale, stores energy in large tanks filled with crushed stone. CEO at Andel, Jesper Hjulmand: ”As a society, we are facing an absolutely crucial and comprehensive task in reducing climate change. Seen in the light of the most recent IPCC climate report, the task has not diminished.
