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.

See you soon,
