Renewable energy helps to provide energy for around 100 district heating networks supplying heat to various municipalities in Denmark, including Copenhagen (at this point, Copenhagen predominantly uses energy from carbon-neutral sources).
The district heating network in Greater Copenhagen is the world''s largest integrated district heating system. The Copenhagen district heating network is soon to be entirely carbon-neutral -
"The Danish capital has the world''s largest district heating network. The system serves 98% of Copenhagen''s buildings. Over a 15-year period ending in 2025, the Greater Copenhagen Utility (HOFOR) will make the system carbon-neutral by transitioning from coal, oil, and natural gas to sustainable biomass.
To produce carbon-neutral heating, HOFOR will replace fossil fuels at large combined heat and power (CHP) plants with wood pellets from sustainably grown forests. It will also deploy large-scale heat pumps that run on wind energy and geothermal energy and incorporate heat storage provided by large water tanks."
Copenhagen''s Climate Plan objectives include: achieving 100% renewable energy (100RE) citywide, implementing enhanced energy efficiency measures throughout multiple sectors of the city, ensuring the city''s environment is as clean as possible, and green transit/ mobility goals - including investing in sustainable transit.
In addition to the extensive district heating network in Copenhagen, water from the city harbor is utilized to cool various buildings in the city when needed, such as office buildings, hotels, and department stores.
The insulated pipes that deliver chilled harbor water to buildings for cooling are either built using new pipe networks or built along with the same pipe networks that deliver steam for the district heating system.
Although not a large share of Copenhagen''s carbon footprint is addressed by the city administration leading first in low-carbon measures (around 5% of the city''s carbon footprint is addressed), a huge amount of inspiration to meet sustainability goals is shared with the city.
Cycling already accounts for about half of the travel to work or school within Copenhagen, and the city is known as one of the world''s most bike-friendly cities. The City of Copenhagen is making efforts to ensure that most travel in the city is sustainable [read more about the city''s efforts below - in the Sustainable Transit in Copenhagen section].
The city''s rail, airport, and suburbs are connected to the city center via the metro bus system. The bus fleet in Copenhagen is being converted to run using biofuel and biogas (another use of waste-to-energy), in addition to electric and electric-hybrid buses.
The Copenhagen Metro features small, sustainable, fully autonomous trains that transport over a million passengers/per week. With over 80 stations throughout the Greater Copenhagen area, the S-train has over 100 million passengers/per year.
Adding to the city''s rapid transit services (Copenhagen Metro and S-train), the Greater Copenhagen Light Rail is an electric tram system that''s still under development (projected to open in 2025 with 29 stations over 28 kilometers).
Bikes outnumber cars in Copenhagen, and currently about ½ of all trips within the city to work or universities are done on bicycles. Cycling is already as popular as car use in Copenhagen [as seen in this article in The Guardian], but Copenhagen sees cycling as becoming the dominant form of transit within the city.
Copenhagen enhances the cycling experience by separating cycling tracks from both car traffic and pedestrians with a simple curb, even elevating the dedicated, uni-directional cycling tracks in segments of the over 250 miles of Copenhagen''s bike lanes.
Copenhagen has installed green wave traffic lights (traffic lights that are synchronized to maximize the efficiency of bicyclists) and constructed new bike lanes, as well as improved current ones.
Other traffic calming measures throughout the city include slow-speed zones (with very low speed limits in much of the city), while the placement of speed bumps and traffic signs on the city''s roads promotes safety. Copenhagen has mandated a ban on ICE vehicles in certain parts of the city center, creating pedestrian-only zones.
Copenhagen has several public-private partnerships that have helped with its sustainable employment and eco-innovation. The city works with universities, organizations, and companies to develop and improve green growth.
