CO2PENHAGEN is the World's First CO2-Neutral Festival
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 5 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
CO2PENHAGEN is the world's first CO2-neutral culture, art and music festival. At the festival, which takes place
5th-6th September at the Technical University of Denmark, we open the doors to a fantastic universe of music, art,
film and technology, and demonstrate how the latest green technology can be used to create a sustainable
platform filled with great experiences.
CO2PENHAGEN stands out from all other festivals in the world by being 100 percent CO2 neutral. This means
that the festival does not buy CO2 quotas or import energy from outside. Instead, the festival use only the latest low
energy technologies, and all energy is produced at the festival by sustainable energy sources.
CO2PENHAGEN is an ambitious and concrete example of how even large events can become CO2 neutral. The
technologies already exist - we just need the courage and ambition to utilise them!
With its positive example, CO2PENHAGEN shows how we as a community can be much more ambitious in our
CO2 targets than we are today and how we can do something about climate problems now.
If we can do it, everybody can do it!
At CO2PENHAGEN, big Danish and International artists will perform, including TV-2, Lars HUG, Mercury Rev,
Mikael Simpson, Camille Jones, Szhirley, Grand Avenue and many more. There will be award-winning short
films, documentaries and even the exciting football match between Denmark-Portugal on a giant big screen. There
will be a cutting edge green tech, parades with the coolest and newest electric cars, energy generators of
the future, green corporate screenings and fitness bicycles generating energy for everything from smoothie
blenders to the great DJ scene. There will be music: everything from hard rock to opera and jazz. And all the food
will be organic, CO2 neutral, and prepared on site.
And all these activities without any CO2!
CO2 is over (if you want it)!
CO2PENHAGEN takes place 5th-6th September at the Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby. There is free
transportation to the festival site from N0rreport Station for festival guests with Bus 150S. Children under 12 will
enter free in the company of an adult.
