"Electrification of the Food Industry" has for almost three years analyzed and tested the framework for switching from natural gas to power in production.
The project is a partnership between the Confederation of Danish Industry, the Danish Agriculture & Food Council, Green Power Denmark, DTU and Viegand Maagøe. The project is financially supported by the Danish Industry Foundation.
Through 20 specific cases at selected Danish food companies, the goal is to demonstrate how electrification of production processes can support the green transition of the food industry and thereby strengthen the competitiveness of Danish industry and promote the export of Danish green products, technologies and solutions.
This is the first time that such a concentrated project aimed at this particular part of Danish industry has been carried out in Denmark.
It is free to attend all or part of the conference - just register in advance below.

How to get rid of the gas: Three shortcuts to electrification of production
In one year, natural gas has gone from cheap and stable energy sources to sky-high shortages. This challenges Danish manufacturing companies, which are forced to convert their energy supply to ensure their survival.
For almost three years, the partnership "Electrification of the Food Industry" has analyzed and tested the framework for switching from natural gas to power in production. Based on cases from one of the country's largest food companies, we present three shortcuts to electrification of production.

Electricity Prices Are Exploding: How to Navigate Your New Reality
Natural gas has exploded in price – and risks becoming scarce during a long and cold winter. But what is the alternative?
Danish manufacturing companies are currently caught up in the existential dilemma caused by the war in Ukraine and the global energy crisis.
On the one hand, forced to act in order to preserve security of supply. But on the other hand, without knowing the future in which they are investing.
For almost three years, the partnership "Electrification of the Food Industry" has analyzed and tested the framework for switching from natural gas to power in production. The debate answers the doubts that many companies currently have.

Two paths to green energy in the dairy industry
Arla and Thise present two different ways to achieve a greener energy supply. We describe the two paths with a focus on how other companies can copy their efforts.
Both dairies are part of the "Electrification of the Food Industry", which for almost three years has analyzed and tested the framework for switching from natural gas to power in production.
The debate is aimed at dairy companies – but also food companies in other industries that want inspiration from two of the country's leading producers.

Three ways to electrify production with heat pumps
No electrification without heat pumps. But a heat pump is not just a heat pump.
For almost three years, the partnership "Electrification of the Food Industry" has analyzed and tested the framework for switching from natural gas to power in production.
The debate takes a closer look at three cases that have used heat pumps to switch from natural gas to electricity. We discuss the different solutions with researchers from DTU – and answer questions from the audience.

Case Toms: Electrification makes production more flexible
Electrified production is more flexible – and thus makes it possible to reduce energy costs.
Tom's is a good example of this. Toms is exploring the possibility of replacing the central heating system with a number of decentralized heat sources. This means that the candy producer will be able to have a more resilient and competitive energy supply in the future.
Toms is part of "Electrification of the Food Industry", which for almost three years has analyzed and tested the framework for switching from natural gas to power in production.
The debate shows how other food companies can achieve similar gains.
