Denmark’s goal to reduce carbon emissions by 70% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050 is being supported through such initiatives, with the school leading the way in sustainability using emission-free equipment.

(PRESS RELEASE) BASILDON, 12-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — In the latest installment of the ‘A Sustainable Year’ series, we explore how New Holland Construction, a CNH Industrial brand, is contributing to Denmark’s ambitious carbon emissions reduction goals. We spoke with Claus Egede Cornelius, Program Director at Roskilde Technical School in Vilvorde, who shared insights into how electric mini excavators are equipping the next generation of Danish landscaping and construction professionals with the skills needed for a sustainable future.

Since 2020, Denmark has been committed to legally binding targets for reducing carbon emissions, with a goal to decrease greenhouse gases by 70% by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. Claus explains that the school aims to lead by example in sustainability, integrating zero-emission equipment into its curriculum to prepare students for the environmentally conscious construction sites of tomorrow.

Roskilde Technical School is currently utilizing two electric mini excavators from New Holland Construction, which are used for various small-scale landscaping and construction tasks. These machines not only produce zero tailpipe emissions but also operate quietly, making them ideal for use in indoor environments as they can easily fit through standard doorways. According to Claus, the machines’ responsive controls, impressive battery life, and ease of charging have made them a favorite among students, enabling them to develop valuable skills while contributing to Denmark’s green transition.
