China and Denmark have tailored strategic cooperation in green transition and renewable energy projects. These efforts are helping China reach its goals by 2030 and 2060. Our reporter Cen Ziyuan talks to Danish companies operating in China about the opportunities in bilateral ties.
China is en route to achieving its goal to reach a peak in its carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
A comprehensive strategic partner of China to assist in this effort is Denmark.
Knowledge and products are inspired by business operations and exchanges with Danish companies on the ground.
Danfoss, the Danish energy company, is leading in this field. It has been in China for nearly three decades.
By the end of 2022, Danish investment projects in China stood at well over 1,200, with the actual use of nearly 4.9 billion U.S. dollars.
Grundfos is another leading Danish company that’s been operating for nearly three decades in China.
YUNG FONG General Manager Grundfos Commercial Building Services China Region “Most people know that Denmark is known for its renewable economy and green energy with a global standard sustainable solution. Danish companies can use their experience and technological advantages to help China achieve its goals by 2030 and 2060.”
Experience in China has also set examples to explore potential in other countries.
YUNG FONG General Manager Grundfos Commercial Building Services China Region “We are based here in China, but we serve the world from here. In recent years, we have shared our successful practices in China with other markets through the Belt and Road Initiative framework, for example, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa. We serve other customers with our accumulation of wisdom from China.”
CEN ZIYUAN Beijing “Thank you Mr. Fong for your insights. Jens Hein, the Head of the China Section at the Danish Energy Agency, says the bilateral cooperation has been on for several years and China is doing well with its transition. A major step now is to better integrate into the country’s energy system. Leaders in the field hope the Danish Foreign Minister Rasmussen’s visit will deepen these ties and inspire more possibilities for both countries. Cen Ziyuan, CGTN, BEIJING.”
