The Future of Energy Storage | MIT Energy
Storage enables electricity systems to remain in balance despite variations in wind and solar availability, allowing for cost-effective deep decarbonization
It is estimated that the combination of 1,600 hectares of solar energy and 10 new wind turbines combined would lead to a reduction in CO2 emissions of 12,000 metric tons in 2030 and generate approx. 1,450 GWh annually, which corresponds to about 50% of Aarhus' projected electricity consumption in 2030.
Aarhus is committed to taking the next steps toward an even greener energy supply system, and with 'the green district heating of the future', we can phase out fossil fuels and get down to 15% biomass in 2030.
In addition, power from wind turbines and solar energy – associated with the City of Aarhus' entities – outside of the municipal boundaries can be included in the City of Aarhus' goal of greater self-sufficiency.
In 2022, the energy sector in Aarhus emitted 698,000 metric tons CO2e. Today, about 70% of Aarhus' energy needs are met by sustainable energy sources, including biomass, which covers 69% of the municipality's energy needs.
The objective is to begin supplying geothermal heat to residents of Aarhus in the fall of 2025. In the long-term, the objective is a heating system in Aarhus that does not use any biomass that is not captured using CCS, with the exception of necessary waste incineration.
The City of Aarhus can help support the transformation of agricultural production by contributing to the test and development of new cultivation concepts and business models on agricultural sites within the municipality. In addition, local sustainable food value chains can be supported, with a view to promoting more plant-based production and sale.
