Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 12/05/2025I generally agree with the points being made, but when looking at oil company divestment I assume it only includes public companies and not national oil companies? The source of an unfortunate rise in fossil investments... (source: IEA) 010
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 11/05/2025Do note that figure is actually an underestimation as this is the sale of new cars, but there is a large import of near new used EVs and adding those puts the figure in excess of 80%. Its the orange in the diagram 090

Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Korrekt. Men jeg tænker omfang af indvandring er politisk bestemt og der skal dramatiske ændringer til før udbud af potentiel indvandring falder under DK efterspørgsel. USA vil sandsynligvis mærke en effekt af nedadgående fertilitet lang tid før 000
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Og nu pinger jeg også lige @rasmussalmon.bsky.social ... som er afsender af jeres rapport. 000
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Jeg antager i har samme indvandring som i befolkningsfremskrivning. Hvor meget skal indvandring øges for at kompensere det fald? 200
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Interessante er, at på den korte bane forbedres holdbarhed. Færre vuggestuer men lige mange på arbejdsmarkedet. Ved ikke om de har "tipping point" med, hvor længe der går før fald i fertilitet i dag slår igennem i holdbarhed. Stigende råderum skyldes netop nedskrivning af fertilitet fra 1,9 til 1,7 120
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 26/03/2025There are trade-offs when wishing for more nature and biodiversity. A risk of losing productive agricultural land in a world with rising demand on land use. A change in food consumption away from cows would help or can even be said to be essential to ease this trade-off. concito.dk/en/news/the-...concito.dkThe Danish Green Tripartite Agreement and Its Impact on Food Production in DenmarkThe direct effect of the Danish Green Tripartite Agreement will be a lower food production in Denmark.

Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 14/03/2025No universe in which rare minerals are a scarce resource and the green transition is a ravenous beast after those same resources.

Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Good overview of Danish climate politics (in german)... maybe as a bit of inspiration. 111
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 04/02/2025We analysed the “odds” of Denmark achieving ambitious climate goals for 2030. The political initiatives are in place but implementation is a whole different ball game. 093

Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 13/12/2024Challenges of energy transition. Background: DK has had its fair share of tenders with CFD for offshore with falling prices ending in final large tender without CFD. DK has built succesfully for present power demand but for future demand is a different story -👍 thread by @emildimanchev.bsky.social 130
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Last thursday I expressed my concern that a lack of electrification would be a barrier to Denmarks largest yet tender for offshore wind. That unfortunately proved to be more than true. With no bids for new offshore wind. concito.dk/en/news/lack...concito.dkLack of electrification risks hindering more offshore windThe following article appeared in Danish in the online outlet Klimamonitor on the 6th of December just prior to the announcement of the results of the bids to build offshore wind. A tender which unfor... 061

Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Det er det jeg mener. Staten bør skabe efterspørgsel efter strøm eller rammer så elefterspørgsel kommer. Det vil også selvstændigt bidrage til den grønne omstilling. Herunder bygge infrastruktur. Build it and they will come hvis jeg må tillade mig en sådan reference.media.tenor.comthree baseball players walking through a field of cornALT: three baseball players walking through a field of corn 020
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Ikke efterspørgslen efter strøm før udbuddet af havvind kommer? 100
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Du er utilfreds med den politiske ambition ift. natur og dyrevelfærd det kan jeg godt forstå. Jeg er måske det forkerte træ at gø op af i den kontekst. Jeg vil også stadig mene at mindre stabilitet i det politiske rum ikke ville give os mere ambitiøs politik 100
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 05/12/2024Det er jo ikke det samme. Det er uomtvisteligt at dansk politik kan noget man ikke ser i andre systemer. Langsigtede brede forlig. 100

Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Torsten's tweets read like a mix of an academic paper and a curious child asking about whales 100
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Det interessant er, at bydere ikke må tale sammen, men værdien af deres bud er afhængig af om de andre byder. Hvis der bliver bygget 2 GW kan det være fint, men 9 GW ødelægger min business case og ekstra kritisk med straf for at springe fra bud. 010
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Dilemma to the green transition.

Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Det vil jeg heller ikke :-). Der er 7,3 TWh elproduktion fra biomasse. Men også 9,4 TWh fra "nyt" elforbrug (varmepumper, elbiler, datacentre) 010
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Denmark as explained to Americans "like Iowa plus San Francisco, plus a gigantic drug company and a gigantic shipping company." ... oh and the news of Denmarks major political agreement for agriculture and land-use, www.fastcompany.com/91233055/den... @fastcompany.comfastcompany.comDenmark is returning 15% of its farmland back to natureThe country plans to plant a billion trees as it transitions some farmland back to forests and peatlands. 041
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 21/11/202431 GW der kører 24/7 ville jo være over 200 TWh så crazy meget. Jeg læser de 31 GW som option på datacentre lige som de usandsynlig mange solprojekter i DK der heller ikke bliver til noget fordi det er optioner og ikke konkret stål og beton 110
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Announced load er ikke faktisk strømforbrug det matcher lidt de 6 GW announced load PTX i DK som vi heller ikke får 110
Torsten Hasforth @dursten.bsky.social · 14/11/2024The intentions are correct. Goals for reduction of CO2e-emission, lower nitrogen runoff and increased biodiversity. The tools are not as ambitious as some could have wished for. In a global context it's not bad. And thats where we stand. 020
