- News 10 June 2019 Annual meeting on district energy: Inspiring results and capacity building The District Energy in Cities Initiative has achieved great results during last year. More cities and countries are turning to district energy systems as a mean of unlocking decentralized energy, improving energy efficiency, introducing higher rates of renewables, and achieving greater circularity and resilience. The Initiative is one of six accelerators of the SEforALL Energy Efficiency Hub, hosted by the UNEP DTU Partnership’s Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency. The centre also…
- Event 28 May 2019 Cooling your home: How to connect residential buildings to district cooling? (Webinar) Demand for space cooling is set to rise to 30% of buildings’ electricity demand by 2050 with nearly 70% of the increase coming from the residential sector (IEA, The Future of Cooling, 2018). In both developed and developing countries, such cooling demand will bring numerous benefits to the economy and our health, but will have profound impacts on the environment and power system unless we shift from business-as-usual technologies. Governments around the world are turning to district cooling to…

- Project 14 May 2019 District Energy in Cities Initiative The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency provides expertise in district energy solutions to cities, as a means of unlocking decentralised energy. We support cities to connect district energy with efficient buildings, waste heat resources and renewables to achieve greater sustainability. Our team supports cities in their heating and cool planning, local capacity building and in conducting pre-assessments and pre-feasibility studies. We are able to provide independent advice to cities in…
- News 10 May 2019 Data Center Conference to focus on IT sustainability The data center industry is facing significant energy challenges as demand for data is escalating worldwide, while the severity of climate change and urgency of climate action is increasing. Denmark, being at the forefront of cleantech innovation and renewable energy, is the host for a sustainability call to action event on 15th May 2019 at the UN City in Copenhagen. “Currently, the world’s data centres consumes about 3% of global electricity, and by 2025 up to 20% of all electricity in the…

- Project 8 May 2019 Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency - Replicating and communicating success An important part of our work on creating energy efficiency projects ready for implementation is replication of success stories around the world. The Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency does this by creating partnerships and disseminating best practices and lessons learnt from its research, knowledge and tools development and project implementation. The Centre actively works towards building a movement of bold action towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, attracting more cities,…
- Project 8 May 2019 Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency - Developing public-private implementation projects Based on analysis of potential and opportunities for energy efficiency projects as well as countries and cities own priorities, the Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency helps develop business models and structuring projects for implementation. This is done by creating partnerships and projects for implementation and replication. This work takes place both on a technical level, where the centre’s experts assists in detailed design of cutting edge projects, but also on the financial level. The…
