Denmark has launched an energy strategy that makes it the first country in the world to commit to an overall reduction in energy consumption. Security of energy supply and reduction of CO2 emissions are priorities on political agendas worldwide. Effective solutions require innovative energy policies that make maximum use of renewable resources.Being a highly developed industrialised country in a temperate climate provides the incentive for Denmark to find ways to extract the maximum benefits from energy efficiency and renewable energy.
