Programme – Detailed
UNEP DTU Partnership (formerly UNEP Risø Centre), which is part of DTU Management Engineering, moved to UN City in April 2014. The new UN city building in Nordhavn hosts many of the UN agencies located in Copenhagen. The UN City is part of the new urban development in the North Harbour of Copenhagen, located only a few kilometres north of the city centre.

Energy Modelling in Denmark Workshop

The opening session will focus on energy system perspectives relevant for Denmark. The key topics for energy modelling are presented, such as energy savings, wind integration and district heating. Several Danish institutions, including the Danish Energy Agency, will present and discuss scenarios for a fossil-free Danish energy system towards 2050.

TIMES-CGE Workshop

Second IEA-ETSAP funded workshop on methods linking energy systems models to economic models. In the previous workshop in UCC, Cork, February 2014 it was decided that a certain level of harmonising of presentations and papers would be useful for easier comparison of methods & approaches in the follow up workshop is used in several countries with focus on selected technologies.

Excursion to waste incineration / CHP plant in Copenhagen
Address: Kraftværksvej 31, bus 40 Meeting Point inside the Central Train Station at 8:30
Organised by: Poul-Erik Grohnheit and Peggy Mischke (DTU)

We will visit the Amager Resource Centre (formerly Amagerforbrænding), located a few km from the Copenhagen city centre. The plant has produced district heating since 1970 and electricity since 1990 via the incineration of urban municipal waste.
