There are plenty of challenges

How do we increase the number of solar cells and wind turbines without harming nature or quality of life in local communities?

What incentives are needed for the public to shift parts of their energy consumption out of peak periods?

How do we secure supply lines against physical sabotage, or safeguard offshore wind farms and other infrastructure against cyberattacks?

These and a wide range of other issues associated with a sustainable energy system must be addressed – and solved – if we are to achieve the Climate Act's goal of a climate-neutral Denmark by 2045.

Many disciplines need to step up

There is a need for knowledge that can be used to create sustainable energy. And we need to integrate many areas of expertise to create solutions that can be translated into action and change.

This requires collaboration across many disciplines and research areas.

That is why we are on an energy mission. Along with partners from organizations, companies and public sector authorities, we will ensure, through a number of mission projects:

A citizen-centered, resilient and sustainable energy system in Denmark by 2045.
