Energy Area Enterprises

Denmark is an advance country in term of energy, produces 28 % of its electricity by windmills.

There is also a lot of enterprises which work in the energy area, like district cooling or district heating.

That's why Denmark leads the renewable energy in Europe.

With our class we have visited the district cooling in Aalborg.
District cooling delivers chilled water to buildings like offices and factories which need cooling.

We also visited at Thisted (a city at only one hour and a half from Aalborg), a district heating.

District heating is a system for distributing heat generated in a centralized location for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating. 

Heating requires something to burn, here in Thisted they burn straw and garbage to produce heat.

We also visited the gas supplier of Aalborg : Gas forsying.
Gas forsying has since 1854 been a supplier of gas to the city of Aalborg. They supply still gas, but much has changed since. The gas was delivered at that time, based on coal. The gas supplied today, is based on natural gas.

But I don't have photos.

Denmark's road trip

Hey ! My parents visited me in Aalborg and they have rented a car thanks to that, I was able to visit some beautiful places in Denmark.

We have planned to visit in priority Skagen, Legoland in Billund and Odense the city of H.C Andersen and for the second time for me to Aarhus.

So we went to Aarhus to visit Den Gamble By and the botanical garden (see the previous article on Aahrus).

Botanical garden

I was surprised because more houses in Den Gamble By were open and the visit of the botanical garden was totally different I saw different flowers and the one I'm expected to show were already wither.

After we went to Skagen where two seas meet each other, hopefully it was sunny.

And to Rubjerg Knude Fyr an phare under the sand. It was so windy there that we had a lot of sand in our hair, clothes and shoes.

And one of my favorite place in Denmark : Legoland ! A place for children or not, you just have to keep your childish soul. Lego is a really big part of Danish culture, even at ucn we play Lego.

Lego buildings were amazing and you can do a lot of attractions. A place worth to be visited once in your life.
