ExcursionsOn the June 8, 2009 a number of conference-related events will take place to get in the right mood before the main conference starts. Below you find further information on each event.
Excursion (6 1/2 hours): Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy (cliclk for more info) Nordic Folkecenter for Renewable Energy represents 25 years of research and development in renewable energy and pre-industrial energy solutions. Today the center is one of Europe's largest eco-sites, and you will experience how it all started in Denmark's leading climate region. We will give you an example of modern energy through our intelligent distribution system.
 Excursion (3 1/2 hours): Blade Factory Tour - Siemens Wind Power A/S (click for more infor) Today 20% of Denmark's energy consumption is produced by wind power. On a windy day, wind power can cover half of Denmark's energy consumption. In 2007 Siemens Wind Power produced enough windmills to cover 11%-12% of Denmark's energy consumption. In 2008 enough windmills were produced to cover 15%-16% of Denmark's energy consumption. This volume means that before long, Siemens will have produced enough windmills to cover all of Denmark's energy use. Although these windmills are not in Denmark, the problem of CO2 consumption is not country specific. Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at blade production.
Nordjyllandsværket, unit 3 is a 400 MWe pulverized coal-fired, combined heat and power plant. The boiler and turbine operate with supercritical steam data and the boiler is equipped with double reheat and full flue gas cleaning. During the design phase, high energy efficiency and the lowest possible use of natural resources were the main objectives. To achieve this, Nordjyllandsværket increased the existing symbiosis with the citry of Aalborg and the local cement manufacturer Aalborg Portland. Come take a look!
Excursion (Day trip): Creating a Hydrogen and fuel cell cluster (click for more info) This excursion will explore topics such as: Profiting from cluster co-operation, Creating and Developing knowledge-based jobs, University involvement in the Fuel Cell Cluster: why and how?, The Role of Agriculture in a Hydrogen Cluster, and EU support – how and why. Participants of this excursion will participate in a tour which will explore components of a hybrid car, the infrastructure for fuel cells - hydrogen production (at Energi Randers), as well as visiting a Gas museum.
Excursion: SKUB (Schools at University, Climate X Energy) We would like to invite Danish-speaking conference participants to follow our program for Elevuniversitet SKUB (Schools at University, Climate X Energy) on the 8th of June at Aalborg University. Participation can give inspiration for creating similar arrangements at other learning institutions, and establish cooperation between higher-learning institutions and primary education schools at an early point in students' education, and to increase participation with the local area.
Four Day Bicycle tour Copenhagen-Aalborg Climate Change Tour d'Aalborg gives you the opportunity to join a unique, fun and inspiring tour from Copenhagen to Aalborg. The tour will be based on bicycling. However, other climate friendly transport means are welcome. The Aerorider Company has offered three or four Aeroriders for the tour. The Aerorider is a hybrid between an electric car and a bicycle.
