'We are convinced it's better to produce gas in the North Sea than buying it from Vladimir Putin,' says Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
“We are convinced it’s better to produce gas in the North Sea than buying it from Vladimir Putin,” Frederiksen said.
Production from existing Danish gas fields in the North Sea could rise by as much as 25% “in the short term,” Climate and Energy Minister Dan Jorgensen said, without giving further details.The country will become a net exporter of gas next year, when the Tyra gas fields, operated by Total, will resume operations following a major redevelopment that began at the end of 2019.
The government will not announce new tenders for North Sea production but instead bring forward gas production that had already been licensed, said Jorgensen.Frederiksen said Denmark could effectively become independent of Russian gas next year with supplies from the North Sea., we also need the other countries to become independent,” she said.
The government also presented plans to drastically increase power production from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, as well as introducing a uniform carbon tax on companies’ emissions. The government aims to increase production from land-based wind and solar power fourfold within eight years and boost offshore wind power production by between one and four gigawatts compared with current plans.
