Lolland Municipality

Lolland Municipality (LM) has been radically innovative in relation to environmental and energy conversions of the entire infrastructure for heat and electricity, waste treatment and wastewater treatment. A long-term focus since the early 1990s aimed at building a new business structure on the ruins of the old shipyard economy has resulted partly in a unique local capacity building in relation to energy and environment, and partly in significant projects. .

Institutions

The capacity is linked to the municipality's own environmental and technical department, and a set of independent institutions, created with support from the municipality:

• BASSBaltic Sea Solutions: Project development and knowledge organization on areas of tourism, energy, environment, agriculture and business (Lolland-Falster). They are part of network of Danish knowledge institutions and international regional development networks around the Baltic Sea

• Green Centre (Holeby):Project and development centre primarily oriented towards agriculture and food

• IWAL: International Wind Academy Lolland: Testing and development centre for the wind turbine industry

• LOKE: Local investment company in energy and environmental projects in which the municipality has invested amounts in the double-digit million range

Projects

It formed the basis for a range of local projects, the most striking are:

• Hydrogen Community Lolland: Demonstration project for hydrogen and fuel cells (see examples on construction)

• Community Test Facility: The municipality's industrial policy effort on taking advantage of available manual labor and know-how from the many renewable energy facilities, by actively taking use of local initiatives on environment and energy to invite to (full scale) experiments on partnership with private and public development projects (BASS / LOKE / LM). Emphasis is on attracting international capital to enter into joint ventures with Danish companies on development of full-scale renewable energy plants, with a basis in the knowledge from completed projects in Lolland municipality

• In addition to that, more than 500 wind turbines are located on Lolland-Falster with two large wind farms (Rodsand and Vindeby)

• An upcoming 10-shovels wave-energy plant is to serve as hydrophore and foundation for future offshore wind turbines. The municipality uses 3 million DKK to use the facility as a demonstration facility for students and guests at COP15

• Three waste and wood chip-based district heating plants based on straw (10 MW), 28 MW technical fat and wood chips (20 MW)

• A rape oil plant built in 2007, Rapsol, is to provide municipal decentralized heating systems and substitute conventional diesel. Analysis and testing of small collective heating systems in rural areas

• A bio-gas facility and a bio-ethanol plant in preparation (Green Centre)

• Nakskov - a set of symbiosis-related environmental and energy projects around Nakskov harbor, industrial and municipal companies (energy, waste,…)
