The Tuborg foundation, which is a non profit foundation to support public beneficial activities, decided last year to back up the climate debate in connection with COP15.
The first project was the Tuborg foundation’s Green Wheel/Grønne Hjul placed on the Roskilde Festival site where you could get a free ride in the 30 metres tall Ferris wheel and view the festival site from above. The condition was to generate energy on the spinning bike/exercise bike which helped run the wheel.
Second project is Hopenhagen LIVE where the Tuborg foundation supports the communication part to the project’s three elements: The Globe, the stage and the adventure pavilions. The Tuborg foundation has focused its support on the activities connecting the climate debate with positive/visual experiences that will be remembered even after COP15 has been finalized.

Københavns Energi supplies Denmark’s capital with district heating, water and town gas – and leads the waste water to the waste water treatment plants. This company has for many years had a strong focus on environmental improvements. Københavns Energi is a corporation owned one hundred percent by the municipality of Copenhagen that has an ambitious goal for the capital’s CO2 emission. Seeing that 70 percent of the capital’s CO2 emission is related to Københavns Energi’s supplies, especially district heating, Københavns Energi constitutes a principal cornerstone in the implementation of the capital’s climate goals.
Københavns Energi participates in Hopenhagen LIVE because Københavns Energi is one of the key players in the capital’s road towards CO2 neutrality. Because Københavns Energi wants to tell the citizens that we’re working focused on making their district heating, their town gas, their drinking water and their handling of waste water more environment friendly, more green – and eventually completely CO2 neutral. And because Københavns Energi wants to inspire the citizens – and others – to act climate friendly in the everyday life on their own. We can and must all make an effort!

Siemens focuses on the global climate related challenges and the fact that the fossil energy sources are running out. As one of the absolute biggest players within climate friendly technologies, Siemens has a responsibility to help to reduce the CO2 emission. This is why Siemens wants to focus on the problem during the climate meeting where heads of governments, business people and politicians from all over the world are gathered in Copenhagen.
Therefore, it’s also natural for Siemens to be principal sponsor at Hopenhagen LIVE, so focus can be on the climate related challenges the world faces and the solutions that we’ll see in the future to reduce the CO2 emission.
Siemens invests yearly more than 6 billion kroner in development of climate friendly solutions. The goal is to ensure substantial CO2 reductions when it comes to production and consumption of energy. Already today, half of Siemens’ approximately 50.000 active patents have integrated environmental and climate friendly solutions and far more inventions are in the melting pot. In a few years, Siemens expects to be able to reduce customers’ CO2 emission with approximately 250 million tons.

Vattenfall wants to be a part of the solution and takes the climate challenge very seriously. Apart from investing massively in its own power plants and production facilities in order to make them CO2 neutral, Vattenfall is deeply engaged in international debates. Vattenfall wants to be part of putting the climate on the agenda in connection with the COP15 meeting in Copenhagen and in a series of other contexts. By supporting Hopenhagen LIVE at the city hall square in Copenhagen, Vattenfall is part of highlighting how important it is that everyone takes an active role when it comes to cracking the climate curve. Vattenfall’s electricity and heating production will at the latest in 2030 be CO2 neutral in the Nordic countries. It’s an ambitious goal that requires billion investments in bio mass facilities, wind power, wave energy and CO2 storage in the subsurface.
