A REPORTER AT LARGE about a Danish community’s shift to renewable energy. Jørgen Tranberg is a farmer who lives on the Danish island of Samsø.
Samsø, which is roughly the size of Nantucket, sits in the Kattegat, an arm of the North Sea. It has twenty-two villages and, for the past dozen years or so, it’s been the site of an unlikely social movement. In the late nineteen-nineties, most of the island’s forty-three hundred inhabitants were heating their houses with oil and used electricity imported from the mainland via cable, much of which was generated by burning coal. As a result, each Samsinger put into the atmosphere, on average, nearly eleven tons of carbon dioxide annually. Then, the residents of the island set about changing this. They formed energy cooperatives and organized seminars on wind power. Wind power in Denmark. Denmark was a pioneer in developing commercial wind power during the 1970s, and today a substantial share of the wind turbines around the world are produced by Danish manufacturers such as Vestas and Siemens Wind Power along with many component suppliers. Wind power provided just over 30% of electricity production in Denmark in 2012.[1][2] In 2012 the Danish government adopted a plan to increase the share of electricity production from wind to 50% by 2020.[3] History[edit] As concerns over global warming grew in the 1980s, Denmark found itself with relatively high carbon dioxide emissions per capita, primarily due to the coal-fired electrical power plants that had become the norm after the 1973 and 1979 energy crises.[4] Renewable energy became the natural choice for Denmark, decreasing both dependence on other countries for energy and global warming pollution.
Denmark adopted a target of cutting carbon emissions by 22% from 1988 levels by 2005.[4] 29. Wind resources[edit] See also[edit] Why wind power works in Denmark. Denmark cluster. 25Y of success. Www.investindk.com/db/filarkiv/745/RE_ABE_Wind_Aug2009.pdf.
