Sustainability

Aalborg is a smart city that strives to be at the forefront of development. The same also applies to sustainability. We are happy to take the lead and the initiative for various sustainable development projects along with numerous other North Jutland partners.

Stronghold for green transition

A number of strategic networks and partnerships across governments, organisations, knowledge institutions and companies are working together on a broad range of green development projects within sustainable solutions and business models.

The common purpose is to contribute to Aalborg Municipality’s business development strategy “Aalborg catches the future” where, among other things, green security of supply is one of the focus areas in supporting and attracting businesses working with green transition.

Green business models are central to Network for Sustainable Business Development North Denmark and Business Network 9220. Business Network 9220 is a strategic partnership between nearly 200 companies in Aalborg East and is behind major EU supported development projects such as Environment++ and Industrial Symbiosis North.

The aim is quite simple: we wish to reduce environmental impacts while advancing the positive economic benefits of green initiatives.

Gate to green for businesses

Port of Aalborg is a green production, knowledge and test hub, predicated upon making processes greener – both in our own company and the companies in our business park. We achieve this by entering into partnerships, facilitating corporate symbiosis, developing sustainable business models, attracting green energy companies, minimising resource waste, optimising energy consumption, supporting our customers’ climate agenda and much more. We are also ready to be your gate to green.

Path to a sustainable business park

Net zero is a key focal point for the business park at Port of Aalborg, where determined, ambitious and visionary efforts are ongoing to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gases, compensating both production and the value chain. Some of the companies in the area are already well on their way, while others have just begun, but the common will of all is to take the lead and climate action together with Aalborg and the rest of the world – both individually and collectively.

Nerve centre for the CCUS value chain

The Port of Aalborg area has developed into an important growth centre in green energy, and today the area is the nerve centre for Aalborg’s full value chain within CCUS (Carbon Capture Storage and Utilisation).

A broad spectrum of companies, networks, and research institutions collaborate closely on the development of new innovative technologies for the capture, utilization, and storage of CO2,  which most effectively accelerates the reduction of CO2 emissions both in the short and long term.

CO2 storage as a climate tool

It has been politically decided that carbon capture and storage – also known as CCS – is an important tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, it’s not enough to replace fossil fuels, convert the car fleet, save energy or install more wind turbines and solar panels to reach the Paris Agreement goals. We also need to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, and underground storage is a powerful solution.

The Danish subsoil is particularly well suited to storing and encapsulate large amounts due to a thick layer of sandstone, and it is estimated that this could lead to reductions in Denmark totalling 3.2 million tonnes by 2030.

Large-scale CO2 reception facility at the port

Fidelis New Energy is making the first large-scale reception facility in Denmark for handling captured CO2 at the port, and it will be commissioned in 2026.

The plant will annually absorb up to four million tonnes of CO2, which will be stored underground or utilised in the production of green fuels. The CO2 reception facility will make Aalborg one of Europe’s leaders in carbon management. Read more about the project.

New Danish website: CO2 in depth

In Denmark, several large CCS projects are already underway. One of them is Fidelis New Energy’s reception facility. And there are more on the way around Denmark.

But why does CCS have great potential as a climate tool and how does it work? You can learn more on the Danish website, CO2 in Depth, which provides insights and answers based on research and data from official sources and authorities.

Internationally recognised wind energy hub

As one of the world’s leading production and test hubs for the wind energy sector, Aalborg plays an international key role. Here, there is optimal infrastructure for the handling and transportation of enormous items to and from the port worldwide, and internationally renowned companies such as Siemens Gamesa, CS WIND Offshore, Blaest and and numerous subcontractors are located at the port.

This development has continued to gather pace in recent years, and the volume of land at the port leased to companies in the wind energy sector has more than doubled over the past decade.

Leading test facilities

Growth and increasing competition in the global wind energy market has caused demand for research and development to skyrocket, necessitating the fundamental need for reliable testing of wind turbine blades. Consequently, the port of Aalborg as one of the world’s leading test sites with  the largest concentration of test facilities in the world plays a key role in the industry.

Added to this is  the Osterild Test Centre, which is located on the windy west coast, not far from Aalborg. The largest offshore wind turbines in the world are tested there and five of the test stands have the capacity to test wind turbines up to 330 metres from the tower base to the tip of the blades. Some of the biggest international players in offshore use the site to test future products.

The brightest minds close by

In Aalborg, the path to the latest knowledge and research within wind energy is short with such prestigious educational institutions as TECHCOLLEGE, University College North Jutland and Aalborg University, which has been repeatedly acclaimed the best engineering university in Europe.

Business and educational institutions collaborate closely in partnerships and development projects which combine theory and practice in reality. A constellation that enhances both the companies and the level of education – and creates a well-educated workforce that can develop future energy solutions in innovation, production, transport, logistics and, not least, sustainability. This is one of the reasons why wind energy companies at the port are internationally leading.

Aalborg Renewables network

The Aalborg Renewables network underpins Aalborg’s position as a wind energy hub by bringing together groundbreaking companies and leading research institutions in the field. The mission is to strengthen the industry and accelerate both growth and innovation by collaborating on the development and commercialisation of new ideas for a greener future in both the short and long term.

Future production hubs

The wind energy industry is growing rapidly while the current world situation places significant demands on the players. The geopolitical situation, ever-evolving climate targets, and production delays are causing national and international supply chain disruptions. Moreover, both the demand and the size of offshore wind turbines are increasing. All of this places pressure on the production hubs to deliver. 

How can future production hubs and the entire offshore wind industry navigate this situation successfully and handle the ever-changing, supply chain disruptions, space constraints and infrastructure upscaling?
