Current GK ( Master) International Affairs

The Government of Denmark has approved a project to build the world’s first energy island, in the North Sea that will produce and store enough green energy to meet the electricity needs of three million households in European countries.
The first-of-its-kind giant island will be as big as 18 football pitches (120,000sq m).
The estimated cost of the project is around 210bn kroner (£24bn; €28bn: $34bn) and is the biggest construction project in Danish history.
The artificial island will be linked to hundreds of offshore wind turbines and will supply power to householdsas well as green hydrogen for use in shipping, aviation, industry and heavy transport.
