Center Denmark contributes a concrete use case to State of Green's whitepaper on sector coupling

31. Oct. 2024

In State of Green's new whitepaper, sector coupling is the central theme. Together with key stakeholders such as Dansk Fjernvarme, Dansk Industri, Green Power Denmark, the Hydrogen Association, and others, Center Denmark demonstrates how integrated energy systems are essential for creating a sustainable and robust energy network for the future.

Sector Coupling Marks a Paradigm Shift in Our Understanding of Energy Management

Sector coupling is an innovative approach that integrates various energy sectors to maximize the use of renewable energy in the most energy-efficient way. It represents a paradigm shift in how we manage energy and decarbonization. This method breaks down traditional silos between energy forms and promotes partnerships and collaboration across sectors and industries at local, national, and international levels.

Sector coupling not only creates a more resource-efficient and reliable energy supply but also enables the integration of green solutions across utility networks. The whitepaper further describes how it facilitates a more dynamic flow of energy and resources between sectors—critical to advancing closer to climate neutrality.

Green Transition Through Digitalization and Collaboration

Sector coupling requires partnerships and close collaboration between research, industry, and policymakers. Here, too, Center Denmark plays a vital role. We provide data infrastructure and an independent data platform that enables the utility sector to collaborate, share knowledge, and implement innovative solutions to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy supply.

We view the whitepaper as strong support for our vision of building a cohesive and flexible utility sector that can meet future demands and contribute to Denmark’s green transition.

 

Center Denmark’s Central Role in Sector Coupling

As a key player in data infrastructure and digitalization within the utility sector, Center Denmark actively works to make sector coupling a reality in Denmark. We develop and provide data infrastructure that consolidates data and facilitates the integration of different sectors. Our work with data is crucial for ensuring the efficient use of energy and supporting a digital energy network capable of addressing future challenges.
