Danish commitment to renewables reflected in launch of new trade fair

Denmark has decided to increase its renewable energy resources, with the Danish Ministry of Climate and Energy clearly laying out its plans for the next years last November. The Danish strategy presents a wide spectrum of new energy policy initiatives, and this is echoed by the decision to launch a new trade fair and congress covering all renewable energy sources entitled Energy Europe.

Denmark’s government says "the twentieth century was largely driven by access to supposed cheap and plentiful coal, oil and gas. However, in the twenty-first century we will have to find other means of satisfying our energy needs". To this end, it has launched a series of initiatives that will considerably reduce the country’s fossil fuel dependence in the short term. In the period up to 2020 the strategy will lead to reduction in the use of fossil fuels in the energy sector by one third compared with 2009. In addition, the policies will increase the share of renewable energy to 33% and it will reduce primary energy consumption by 6% by 2020 compared with 2006 due to a strong focus on energy efficiency improvements.

In addition to this exists in Denmark a stable legal situation for the lucrative personal use of renewable energies, which already applies to many European countries as exemplary. In particular German solar-, bioenergy-, and wind-energy companies called the Denmark the future top-selling market.

Now is the perfect time to put these new forms of energy on show, and Energy Europe is expected to do just that. The new annual exhibition will take place in the Bella Center, the largest and most modern conference centre in Copenhagen where COP%15 was held in 2009.

"It is with great pride that on 23 May 2013 the Bella Center opens its doors to Energy Europe", says Jacob Schmidt, Bella Center´s Director of Sales and Marketing. "Since we held the Climate Summit COP15 in 2009, Bella Center has wanted to contribute and link to the energy market with our core competencies, namely, trade fair production and execution. Now the time has finally come and we are excited to be able to open our doors to an innovative exhibition where you can expect a packed program and an exciting atmosphere as the world's renewable energy players meet in Copenhagen 2013."

North and east European countries have waited a long time for the possibility of presenting a renewable energy conference and trade fair, and this event provide a new platform for sales and growth in the rapidly developing Scandinavian and east European markets. Interest in the usage of renewable energy has grown immensely in these markets in recent years, not only is it climate friendly but also diminishes their dependency on fossil fuels, thereby cutting energy costs and boosting the economy.
