EnergyMap.dk
Encyclopedia
EnergyMap.dk is the national Danish
internet portal for energy
and climate
related solutions.
EnergyMap provides information about Danish companies, organisations, institutions and public authorities, technologies and programmes that may help combat climate change
and improve energy efficiency
. Users may "study the solutions, cases, projects and events presented on the portal. Many of the featured sites are open for visitors and many" also offer R&D information or investment opportunities.
EnergyMap is a part of Climate Consortium Denmark
, a public-private partnership established in June 2008, by The Danish Parliament
and these Danish business organizations. The purpose of Climate Consortium Denmark is to showcase the unique array of products and technologies within Cleantech and Clean technology
held by Danish business and industry, as well as the invaluable expertise and knowledge in climate
- and energy
- technologies held by Danish universities and research institutions.
The idea of EnergyMap was born in the high-tech network for renewable energy
, VE-Net. VE-Net is supported by The Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation and is run by the Danish Technological Institute in cooperation with The Danish Energy Industries Federation. The latter is responsible for the development and operation of the internet platform. Ownership of EnergyMap has been passed to the Climate Consortium.

Efficient energy use
Efficient energy use, sometimes simply called energy efficiency, is the goal of efforts to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. For example, insulating a home allows a building to use less heating and cooling energy to achieve and maintain a comfortable temperature...

History
The purpose of EnergyMap is to showcase, create awareness and attract attention to the many climate-friendly products and technologies of Danish companies and knowledge institutions.The idea of EnergyMap was born in the high-tech network for renewable energy
Renewable energy
Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable . About 16% of global final energy consumption comes from renewables, with 10% coming from traditional biomass, which is mainly used for heating, and 3.4% from...
