The Norwegian and Swedish hydropower plants play an important role in Denmark because of the electricity “storage” that Denmark can call on, in cases where other energy resources fail to produce an adequate amount of electricity. Wave power plants are a promising, but yet immature technology for renewable electricity.
Bulk physical storage of renewable energy produced gases can act as a longer-term storage solution (hours, days, weeks, months) to help maintain flexibility in a fossil-free energy grid ( The Danish Partnership for Hydrogen and Fuel Cells ). Without the hydrogen scenario, the potential for hydrogen-based energy storage in Denmark will be limited.
Currently (spring 2016), three wave power plants have permissions to test in Danish seas and one developer has permission to do pre-investigations to prepare an area for future wave energy plants. Water and waves are renewable energy resources that can be used to produce energy in the form of electricity.
In 2015 hydropower contributed with 0.1 percent of the total Danish electricity production. By contrast, hydropower is far more common in the other Nordic countries – particular in Norway and Sweden, where great height differences characterize the landscape.
Traditional hydropower is produced by using the energy that is generated by falling or flowing water, such as rivers and streams. Hydropower is one of the most widespread types of renewable energy worldwide, although in Denmark hydropower only has a subordinate role.
Unsurprisingly, Denmark is known as a pioneer of wind energy. Relying almost exclusively on imported oil for its energy needs in the 1970s, renewable energy has grown to make up over half of electricity generated in the country. Denmark is targeting 100 percent renewable electricity by 2035, and 100 percent renewable energy in all sectors by 2050.
