INTRODUCTION
This chapter provides an example of how Frederikshavn, within a short
period, can be converted into a town supplied 100% by renewable energy.
Theexample is basedonaproposal drawnupbyaworkinggroup in
relation to a project called “Energy Camp 2006.” The proposal is described
in detail in the article “Next City, Frederikshavn - Denmark’s renewable
energy city.”
It should be underlined that this is only a proposal, which may serve as an
inspiration for future work. The final project must develop in close dialogue
and co-operation with all the actors involved in converting this idea into
reality.
