The challenge
Today, the overall emissions of the Danish defence sector are approximately 254,000 tons CO2e. The defence sector covers a wide range of elements across most sectors. It is both an operator of aircrafts, ships, and vehicles, as well as a transportation and logistics organisation and an education facility. Furthermore, it is a landowner and a building administrator.

Today, the overall emissions of the Danish defence sector are approximately 254,000 tons CO2e. The defence sector covers a wide range of elements across most sectors. It is both an operator of aircrafts, ships, and vehicles, as well as a transportation and logistics organisation and an education facility. Furthermore, it is a landowner and a building administrator.
At the same time, defence forces need to function under the most difficult and dangerous conditions. Since it needs to work both in times of peace and crises, the dilemma is how to reduce emissions and at the same time increase operational efficiency, security of supply and enhance the safety of soldiers.
The potential
The potential is not yet defined. There is an ambition to reduce CO2e emissions, and, at the same time, increase operational efficiency. The balance is important, and conclusions must not in any way affect the safety and security of the soldiers.
Recommendations
There will be a mapping and initial analysis conducted on the potential to apply solutions that the partnership has identified from the other 13 climate partnerships’
work
There will be an analysis conducted on how already identified actions can be reinforced and further developed
We will work to identify where new technologies and procedures can help reduce emissions, enhance operational efficiency and provide more safety and security for our soldiers. This includes investigating options that combine civil and military technologies
