Boilers out and district heating in. That is what they are saying in the town of Hornsyld in the Municipality of Hedensted, where municipal buildings and private homes are replacing gas- and oil-fired boilers with surplus heat from local companies. The project, which is being driven by Hornsyld-Bråskov local council, is an integral element in achieving the municipality’s 2030 target for CO2 reduction.
Esbjerg’s new bus depot houses the municipality’s 29 electric buses. The project contributes to the municipality’s goal of being CO2-neutral by 2030, but will also help ensure more peaceful and healthier city living for local residents, as the electric buses the depot houses are quieter than their diesel counterparts and do not emit diesel fumes. Moreover, the switch to electric buses means a financial saving, as operating costs are lower than for the old diesel-powered buses. Overall, the setup should ensure climate-friendly and quieter public transport for the town’s citizens, with a reduction in CO2 emissions of 2,700 tonnes, or 70 pct., relative to the diesel buses.
