FRA Reactive to Proactive

Closed

Renewable energy production shall be promoted through cross-border cooperation. The project Fra reactive to Proaktiv wants to redefine how the municipalities in Denmark and Sweden cooperate with companies they often have statutory environmental supervision over. The project aims to develop models for systematic collaboration and screening of companies. In this way, a larger share of energy can be produced from renewable energy sources. There is potential in exploiting waste products for energy production at individual companies if the municipalities focus on being a partner that helps the company to comply with the rules and requirements that exist and at the same time can see the opportunities for innovation and new opportunities to extract renewable energy. The project highlights in particular Holbæk municipality’s approach to the interaction between municipality and business where employees meet companies more as a partner than as an authority. Swedish HUT Skåne will play a central role in the communicative work because they have a wide network of municipalities. Among other things, the project aims to increase interest in circular solutions and thereby increase the amount of energy from renewable sources. It also wants to achieve cross-border cooperation that ensures coordinated cooperation in exploiting the waste resource in the Öresund-Kattegat-Skagerrak region.
