        Denmark’s Inge Lehmann Programme

        Denmark’s Inge Lehmann Programme offers research grants to researchers with the objective of improving gender balance. Inge Lehmann grants are awarded to younger researchers, as evidence shows that gender imbalances emerge at early career stages in research environments. The programme aims to draw attention to the gender imbalance in academia, where in Denmark only 23% of professors at Danish universities are currently women. Researchers can apply for project funding via the Independent Research Fund Denmark, which expects to award 30 to 40 grants in 2021, with funding disseminated in 2022. The programme’s funding for 2021 totals DKK 110…

        Climate Act - Denmark's coal phase-out

        Denmark is set to ban coal-based electricity production by 2028, closing the Nordjyllandsværket power station by this date. This phase-out goes along with the repeated commitment of reducing by 70% GHG emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels set in the Climate Act in 2020.

        Denmark’s oil and gas exploration ban

        In December 2020 the Danish government reached an agreement with a broad majority in the Danish Parliament to phase out fossil fuel extraction in the country by 2050, starting with the cancelation of its 8th licensing round as well as all future bid rounds. North Sea production has historically been an important economic driver for Denmark, contributing around EUR 0.8 billion in revenues in 2019. The agreement also commits the government to ensuring a just transition for impacted regions and the approximately 4 000 workers (direct and indirect) currently employed by the oil and gas industry. As part of…

        Denmark community ownership of renewables

        A significant part of Denmark’s remarkable success with wind power generation has been its promotion of community ownership of wind farms. The community ownership has helped wind turbines overcome challenges such as limited space, costs and resistance to visual and noise impacts as local communities directly profit from power generation. For example, the Middelgrunden wind facility (20 turbines), which completed construction in 2000, invited private investment from local citizens. Ultimately, 8 650 Danes raised EUR 23 million to finance half the project’s cost and become 50% equity participants (the municipal utility owned the other half). The project’s…
