Esbjerg is at the heart of Denmark’s offshore energy sector and has been so ever since the production of oil – and subsequently natural gas – began in earnest in the 1970s. This position of strength within energy technology currently includes offshore oil, gas and wind power, as well as bioenergy systems.

Everything is interrelated in Esbjerg: extraction, offshore activities, energy technology – the sea, the wind and the gateway to the west. Esbjerg is synonymous with new energy.

With approx. 6.000 workplaces within oil and gas and approx. 2.000 within everything from design to installation and servicing the wind turbine farms, the Esbjerg-area covers all aspects of the largest forms of energy at sea. The city has more than 500 consulting engineers specializing in energy, and as for educations, the number of bachelor and graduate programs focusing on both fossil and renewable energy.
