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.
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.
Assuming that these funds are distributed to the municipalities in accordance with the standard allocation key, it is to be expected that the City of Aarhus will receive the equivalent of approx. DKK 40 million. The coalition parties agree that these funds will be added to the land fund.
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.
There have been talks with Tesla, with plans to invest in Indonesia's Battery Energy Storage System sector. Tesla has an outstanding reputation in its production of technology that is carbon neutral. The BESS produced and used by Tesla has a relatively low negative environmental impact.
Subsidiaries of PLN involved in the Battery Energy Storage System project happen to be the primary electricity providers in Indonesia, such as PT Indonesia Power, PT Pembangkitan Jawa Bali, and others. The plan to develop an energy storage system aligns with the positive growth in the renewable energy industry.
Meanwhile, Ikhsan, Regional Secretary of Surabaya City, emphasized that the implementation of decarbonization in the building sector is part of the sustainable agenda that has been carried out by the Surabaya City Government.
