Denmark’s Green Revolution Joins Forces With India In Landmark Energy Pact

Denmark and India renewed their energy partnership in May 2025, extending collaboration for five more years. The agreement focuses on developing green hydrogen and sharing renewable energy expertise through expert meetings and study tours. Both nations are working toward ambitious net-zero goals—India by 2070 and Denmark by 2045. Joint Working Groups will monitor progress on clean energy initiatives. The partnership positions both countries as global climate leaders moving forward.

How does a partnership between two nations on opposite sides of the world help fight climate change? Denmark and India show us the answer with their renewed energy agreement signed in May 2025. This pact extends the cooperation that began in June 2020 when they first signed a Memorandum of Understanding on energy.

The agreement focuses on helping India reach its goal of net-zero emissions by 2070, while supporting Denmark’s aim to hit net-zero by 2045. Both countries will share knowledge through expert meetings, training sessions, and study tours. The India Power Secretary and Danish Ambassador made the renewal official, ensuring five more years of teamwork. Power Secretary Pankaj Agarwal signed the agreement alongside Danish Ambassador Kristensen to reinforce the long-standing energy cooperation between both countries. The renewal was a crucial step to ensure continuity in dialogue between the nations after five years of successful collaboration.

Collaboration across continents accelerates both nations’ paths to net-zero through knowledge exchange and sustained partnership.

Green hydrogen stands at the center of this partnership. The countries will work together on new ways to produce renewable hydrogen and use it in industry. This clean fuel can replace fossil fuels in many sectors and help cut carbon emissions.

Joint Working Groups will track progress and make sure goals are met. Experts from both nations will travel back and forth to learn from each other and build skills. They’ll also create proposals for new hydrogen projects and other clean energy innovations. The partnership aligns with global trends, as renewable energy accounted for 28% of global electricity generation in 2020.

The partnership has already improved both countries’ ability to use clean energy. It’s made regulations more similar, helping projects move forward faster. Knowledge sharing has sped up innovation and market readiness.

Looking ahead, Denmark and India plan to grow their green hydrogen and renewable energy projects. They may expand into more technology sharing and investment partnerships. Both nations will continue to shape sustainable energy futures globally.

This cooperation puts Denmark and India in leading positions as climate actors on the world stage. Their shared vision for sustainable energy systems will likely keep the partnership strong for years to come as they tackle climate challenges together.
