Denmark ranks as the fifth EU Member State in the 2025 edition of the European Bioenergy Day campaign, an annual initiative organized by Bioenergy Europe to highlight the growing importance of sustainable biomass in the energy mix of EU Member States.
September 13, 2025, marks Denmark’s Bioenergy Day, some five days earlier than in 2024, indicating that bioenergy could meet the country’s energy demands for 110 days or the remainder of the 2025 calendar year, based on Eurostat’s figures for 2024.
Bioenergy Europe’s annual campaign provides key facts on biomass and the bioenergy industry. It celebrates people, projects, and companies that contribute to achieving European carbon neutrality goals across transportation, industry, space heating, and power, while ensuring energy security.
Powered by Bioenergy Europe, the campaign is amplified by national and international partners who support the idea that bioenergy is more than just a renewable energy source—it is a reliable pathway to achieving Europe’s renewable energy transition.
In the case of Denmark, which was also ranked fourth in 2024, renewable district heating plays a central role.
It was something that European energy Ministers got to see firsthand during an informal ministerial meeting in Copenhagen under the European Commission’s Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen.
Amongst other things, the Ministers visited Ørsted’s Avedøre Power Station, an example of Denmark’s energy transition from fossil-derived heat and power to renewables, including sustainable biomass, along with well-developed plans for bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS).
