Energy is essential to keep life, production, growth and development going. However, being the main contributor to climate change, energy also constitute one of the biggest challenges that the world and humanity face today. This calls for new green and sustainable energy solutions, behavioural change, not to mention new policies, on global and local scales. Danish consulting engineers play an active role in this necessary turnaround. For instance, when we work with national governments to enhance international cooperation to facilitate policy dialogue and access to shared sources of energy, when we design and implement stand-alone energy systems, provide technical assistance to local authorities, assist governments with energy efficiency strategies, or when we design integrated renewable energy solutions, including wind, solar, biomass and hydro.
PROJECT: RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS, KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS, INDONESIA
Design and implementation of stand-alone energy systems for the three small and remote islands of Parang, Nyamuk and Genting off the north coast of Java. Solar power will cover 95-100 percent of the consumption of the villagers. The 2,000 islanders will also bene t from integrated diesel generators and refurbishment of distribution cables for 24/7 provision of power – something which has not been common in the past. The project is part of COWI’s role to assist the Danish Embassy in Jakarta with the implementation of environmentally friendly, sustainable energy pilot projects in Central Java.
