Copenhagen Airport Copenhagen Aiport has announced plans to build a new low cost terminal that will be ready for business in 2010. The CPH SWIFT project will be an extension of the current terminal building and have a yearly capacity for six million passengers flying with low-cost airlines. The 200 million kroner project will entice new low-fare airlines to Copenhagen, as the passenger charges that airlines pay to the airport will be halved for the new development. The new terminal aims to reduce costs further by having many of the passengers using self check-in. It will be integrated with the current building, making use of existing security check points and baggage hall. The building of CPH SWIFT will include six new parking stands for aircraft, together with another five to cater for extra capacity.  Inside the airport |

Arla Foods Arla Foods will be one of the first companies outside of the energy industry to invest in sustainable energy, and build it themselves. The Danish dairy producer is going green to reduce CO2 output and save money, reports Berlingske Tidende newspaper. Arla is looking to produce electricity from its own wind turbines, in much the same way as Novo Nordisk and Novozymes are. Arla's 30 Danish factories almost all run on electricity and natural gas. The company's head of environment Jan D. Johannsen said they were looking at the possibility of having wind turbines placed near their large production facilities in North and West Jutland.  I'm in your farm, milking your cows! Edited by Denmark, Oct 14 2008, 05:29 PM.

Parken Stadium Parken will soon be rid of its football pitch turning into a muddy mess from the stadium’s many events, as it plans to rebuild this winter. Stadium grounds manager Chris Hague said Parken chairman Flemming Østergaard is investing millions of kroner into the new system, which will allow for more football games and concerts at the stadium. 'After the last game in December we will peel away the whole pitch and foundation. We're building it all up from the bottom, rebuilding drains and sprinkler systems and establishing a new roots zone,' said Hague. Parken will introduce a new use-and-remove pitch, which could see the turf being changed two to three times a year, according to Østergaard. A new light system will provide artificial solar energy to grass in the shadow of the stands.  Parken |

Netto Budget supermarket chain Netto is suffering from the high food prices. The supermarket relies on cheap produce to supply it's stores with cheap produce. (!?) But with the raised food costs, Netto are spending more money purchasing stock, so their annual profit will be substantially lower than previous years. To add to this, many shoppers have been moving over to shops which actually sell food you can eat, despite the raising food prices. Plans are afoot to provide shoppers with better, healthier food, yet still at an affordable cost.  Netto |

DONG Energy Denmark's national energy provider has today started work on it's new Biofuel Plant in Kalundborg in northern Zealand. Second generation bioethanol is seen by many as an answer to the world's energy needs. Currently, no commercial plant produces the fuel, but DONG Energy hopes to change that. The Danish company plans to use the plant to turn straw into fuel, and it will have a capacity to produce 30,000 tonnes of straw annually. This can be converted into 5.4 million litres of bioethanol, 8250 tons of solid biofuel, and 11,100 tons of animal feed. Enzymes play a large part in the process of breaking down the raw materials into fuel. Denmark is one of the global leaders in the enzyme industry and Novozymes has developed a test product that can be used in the DONG plant. Per Falholt, head of research at Novozymes, told Berlingkse Tidende newspaper that if enough biomass is available, bioethanol has the potential to corner a third of the world's fuel market. The Danish biotech company invests hundreds of millions of kroner annually into the development of bioethanol-production enzymes. It also plans to have completely CO2-neutral electricity needs by 2012. The bioethanol plant is expected to be open in time for the UN Climate Change Conference, hosted by Copenhagen in November 2009. DONG's subsidiary Inbicon looks after its bioethanol interests. According Incibon’s vice president, if the demonstration plant is a success, they hope to have a full-scale plant ready for 2012 or 2013.  The location of the future bioethanol plant. |
