Aalborg Portland will make an effort to get rid of the label as a climate villain. However, it will not have a direct impact on the 1.3 million tonnes of cement the company must deliver to the Fehmarn tunnel.

Denmark’s largest CO2 emitter will reduce emissions by 73 percent

Cement production is one of the world’s biggest climate culprits. Now Aalborg Portland will make an effort to get rid of the label as a CO2 villain. However, it will only take effect after the company’s largest delivery to date: 1.3 tonnes of cement for the Fehmarn Tunnel.

European Energy already has advanced plans for hydrogen production (Power to X) in Nakskov. But initially, the business world proposes that the pipeline be routed through Jutland to Germany and thus bypass the Fermern link.

The business world wants hydrogen pipeline to Germany through Jutland, despite big Power to X plans on Lolland

Hydrogen may become the Danish export adventure of the future. German companies are facing an enormous change. But they are busy and can’t wait for the Fehmarn connection to be finished. At the same time, there is much more wind energy to be found in the North Sea.

Cement production is one of the world's biggest CO2 culprits. A new DTU research project will now investigate a new method that can significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions.

2.9 million DKK for research into clay-based cement

Denmark’s Free Research Foundation has granted almost 2.9 million for a research project that will develop technology to process clay so that it can replace lime in cement production. The method will be able to reduce global CO2 emissions considerably.
