An exhilarating week of energy events in the Nordic cities of Copenhagen and Malmo drew to a close at the end of May. Known as Nordic Clean Energy Week, the event gathered an influential and broad group of actors from the energy sphere, ranging from energy ministers and researchers from G20 economies, to companies and investors with the common goal of accelerating the global transition to a world powered by renewables.

Nordic Clean Energy Week (NCEW) consisted of over 140 different events. Encompassing a range of different formats, the week involved the presentation of green solutions from the Nordic countries and stimulating discussions regarding the optimal way to increase the deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency, and improve the innovation system for clean energy solutions.

One of the main topic during NCEW was the issue of how to heighten global investment levels in clean energy. Additionally during the week, the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), which is ranked one of the top ten universities in terms of energy research on a global level, launched its International Energy report 2018.
 

Titled Accelerating the Clean Energy Revolution – Perspectives on Innovation Challenges, the report features perspectives on Research and Development (R&D) challenges in respect of the Innovation Challenges from leading researchers. The report also describes the R&D challenges that relate to energy storage. Participants agreed that improving energy efficiency will be a key factor in limiting global warming and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
