Denmark aims to be independent of fossil fuels by 2050 through ambitious renewable energy targets. The country has already made significant progress, generating 33% of electricity from renewables like wind and biomass. New policies aim to reach 50% renewable electricity by 2020 through expanding wind power and converting buildings from coal to biomass heating. The transition is technically and economically feasible due to Denmark's energy efficiency gains and competitive clean technology industry. The long-term strategy has achieved broad political support through cost-effective subsidies and energy taxes that incentivize renewable energy development.
