Denmark green energy and infrastructure security

Overview

Denmark is navigating complex challenges regarding its green energy transition and infrastructure security. A report from the Brundtland Think Tank suggests that the state may need to assume more risk to support utility companies in balancing long-term climate goals, such as CO2 capture and energy storage, with the economic necessity of maintaining low consumer prices.

Public concern regarding the security of critical infrastructure is also rising. A YouGov survey indicated that 44 percent of Danes are worried about potential sabotage or attacks on vital systems, with energy supply identified as the primary concern for citizens.

Additionally, the nation’s hydrogen strategy is facing scientific scrutiny. While the 2021 plan aimed for significant green hydrogen production by 2030, researchers have noted delays in projects and are investigating a potential paradox where an abundance of cheap renewable electricity might actually increase the cost of green hydrogen production.
