  1. Hooking up to the district energy system in Denmark is mandatory--a regulated monopoly similar to US energy companies. #A-LH
  2. "We are not put together as a close village culture" as in Denmark, which may make it more challenging to put CHP together in the US. #A-LH
  3. COWI--engineering, environmental science & economic consultancy helping municipalities get to carbon neutral http://bit.ly/6cYRFR #A-LH
  4. Geothermal will be another way that Danish energy will be generated in the future. #A-LH
  5. Wood is a well-known biomass that the Danes are interested in using more of in generating energy. #A-LH
  6. The Queen lives next to a waste burning plant becz landfill is illegal in Denmark & in parts of Europe. They burn waste beautifully. #A-LH
  7. Hillerod, Denmk has a pop of 60K--wanted the right energy balance. Planners set up community "board game" to encourage discussion. #A-LH
  8. "Tompkins Cty could be the inspiration for a new energy era" by implementing a CHP system. #A-LH
  9. The Danish 1978 Heat Supply Act on District Heating provided a public policy on which to build CHP initiatives http://bit.ly/5dugAC #A=LH
  10. "2/3 of the fuel we use to produce power is wasted." That waste could be put to work by a more efficient energy infrastructure. #A-LH
  11. Video abt Danish family alternative energy household http://bit.ly/5iNsT7 #A-LH
  12. Creating the physical infrastructure for an efficient CHP system is a large planning and engineering challenge. #A-LH
  13. 18 municipalities, 4 integrated systms, 100,000 bldgs, 2M people are knit together & cooperating on a Copenhagen district energy plan #A-LH
  14. There are positive economic spin-offs from doing something very different--changing energy culture--in reducing carbon emissions #A-LH
  15. Flexible & adaptable means that system does not care how energy is created. The pipes that connect bldgs r most important to success.#A-LH
  16. District energy is a scheme to decrease consumer energy costs if implemented correctly #A-LH
  17. "District energy" are the two terms that explain the Danish CHP "miracle." #A-LH
  18. B. Abbot is scoping easy-to-knit-togehter CHP energy "districts" in Tmpks Cty #A-LH
  19. Abbot Lund-Hansen aims to develop an energy culture that is ahead by 3o years on making carbon neutrality a reality in Tompkins Cty. #A-LH
  20. Efficient fuel use is part of municipality & organizational commitments towards reducing the carbon footprint of entire institutions. #A-LH
