CIRCULAR 2035

10:00 - 10:25 I  Welcome and setting the stage

The Aabenraa Circular model: what is being built, why it matters, and why the model is replicable - setting the compass for the day. 

With the Mayor of Aabenraa Municipality and the Head of PtX Development.

10:25 - 11:30 I Building the Danish-German hydrogen economy

Findings from €1.6m EIB-funded project: a visualised mapping of the South Denmark–Schleswig-Holstein hydrogen ecosystem, pre-feasibility studies on critical infrastructure, and the hard questions of demand, regulation and cross-border governance.

With Deloitte, Worley, Land Schleswig-Holstein, Hydrogen Denmark, KGAL, A.P. Møller-Maersk and European Energy.

11:30 - 11:45 I Coffee break

11:45 - 12:45 I Circular utilities - closing the loop in practice

How wastewater becomes technical water for PtX and data centres, pyrolysis turns sludge into biochar, and surplus heat drives new industry - while cleaning the fjords.

With Arwos, Suez, NIRAS, Veolia/Krüger, Aabenraa Municipality and the Danish Environment Agency.

12:45 - 13:35 Lunch and networking

13:35 - 14:35 I The derived economy - the heat is on!

Surplus heat, CO₂ and oxygen as feedstock for greenhouses, food producers and bio-based materials - the opportunity most energy conferences miss.

With Smith Innovation, Selected Group, Aabenraa District Heating, Danfoss and BIGH Aquaponics.

14:35 - 15:20 I Building a grid for scale and energy security

The grid infrastructure that makes the hub possible - and the resilience questions it must answer.Transformer stations, grid super-highways, microgrids and the governance gap no single actor will fund.

With Energinet, Schneider Electric, CIP/Plexar, Green Power Denmark, the Danish Energy Agency and SDU.

15:20 - 16:00 From blueprint to reality - who does what next?

Not a summary - an action session. What must happen in the next 12 months, and who is responsible?

With Hy2Gen Nordic, the Danish-German Chamber of Commerce, Green Power Denmark, Danfoss/Saltpower, Schneider Electric and EIFO.
