\"Green<\/p>\n

A recent international survey found 82% of respondents believe the world should run entirely on green energy and an average of 85% want their countries to phase out coal.<\/p>\n

The research was carried out through 26,401 interviews conducted in 13 countries (Australia not among them) by Edelman Intelligence for \u00d8rsted (previously known as DONG Energy – see below).<\/p>\n

The stand against coal and for renewables was strongest in China, with 93% of Chinese respondents wanting to see a green energy powered world and 96% an end to coal use. Someone may want to tell U.S. President Donald Trump that 77% of Americans appear to want an end to the use of coal as well.<\/p>\n

“Green energy has become cheaper than black, and the newly released Green Energy Barometer shows an overwhelming public support for a shift from black to green,” says<\/a> Henrik Poulsen, CEO of \u00d8rsted.<\/p>\n

Solar power<\/a> turned out to be a favourite green energy source, with 80% of respondents stating more should be installed, followed by more onshore wind (67%) and offshore wind (64%). More solar power was the top choice in all thirteen countries.<\/p>\n

The survey also revealed climate change to be the second most pressing global challenge, behind terrorism and ahead of caring for an ageing population.<\/p>\n

From DONG to \u00d8rsted<\/h2>\n

If you haven’t heard of \u00d8rsted before, you may recognise the company under another name – DONG Energy. DONG was an acronym for Danish Oil and Natural Gas.<\/p>\n

The company says it has undergone a huge transformation from one of Europe’s most coal and oil intensive companies to a green leader. Over the last decade it has reduced its coal consumption by 73%, and will fully phase out use of the fossil fuel by 2023. During this year, the company ditched its upstream oil and gas business to focus purely on green energy.<\/p>\n

“Following the profound strategic transformation from black to green energy and the recent divestment of the upstream oil-and-gas production, the name Dong Energy does not fit the company any more,” the firm said<\/a> in October. It announced it would be known as \u00d8rsted as of the 6th of this month. The name is a nod to Danish scientist Hans Christian \u00d8rsted<\/a>, who discovered that electric currents create magnetic fields.<\/p>\n

Even before the decade-long transformation, DONG was dabbling in renewables – it pioneered the world’s first offshore wind farm in 1991, Vindeby<\/a>, which generated 243GWh of electricity during its 25 year service life. Decommissioning of Vindeby was completed in September this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
