Full house at DOI 2025 conference debated challenges and opportunities in the energy industry
DK Medier marked the annual publication of the yearbook for the oil, gas and wind industry, Danish Offshore Industry 2025 (DOI) on Friday by inviting the industry to a conference in Esbjerg.
For the first time, the conference was arranged in collaboration with Business Esbjerg. Here, approximately 100 people turned up at the Music Hall in Esbjerg to hear about challenges and opportunities within current topics in the energy industry.
- We have invited you to the conference because we have made the best magazine, and we would like to celebrate that. We do this with a conference where the top of Danish offshore meets, networks, exchanges ideas and makes new contacts. We also give them the opportunity to hear some excellent speakers make points about some topics that I could hear many in the room saying: "I haven't really heard of this before," says owner of DK Medier, Claus G. Theilgaard.
This is the fourth time that DK Medier publishes the yearbook for the industry and thus invites to the DOI conference, after the company acquired DOI in 2020.
Hydrogen, CCS and AI on the program
The conference was divided into three parts, each focusing on a current topic in the energy industry. Initially, Rasmus Bach Nielsen, board member and spokesperson for H2 Energy Europe, Søren Schmidt Thomsen, director of Triangle Energy Alliance (TEA) and Dina Myrup Raabjerg, energy and supply spokesperson for the Conservative People's Party, debated the current challenges of unleashing the Danish potential within the production of green hydrogen, where, for example, Ørsted has pulled the plug on several large PtX projects. Here, the politician in particular had to hear about the conditions that have been set up for the realization of the Danish hydrogen infrastructure, where the realization of a pipeline for hydrogen to Germany has just been postponed by three years.
Following this, there was another round of presentations and debate about infrastructure. This time about another green key technology, namely CCS - capture and storage of CO2. Here, Martin Peter Næsby, CEO of Dansk Offshore, Jens Kirketerp Jensen, CEO of ADP - EI and Esbern Hoch, CCS Business Development Denmark for TotalEnergies, each gave their views on the technology, which has been identified by politicians as a key to achieving Denmark's climate goals.
Last but not least, Emilie Lundblad, Director of AI and Automation at Hempel A/S, Jesper Smit, founder and CEO of Quali Drone ApS, Jonas Nibe, Sales Manager at ABB, and Frank Kjerstein, CEO of REBLADE, discussed which companies are each frontrunners in the use of artificial intelligence, and whether the industry as a whole is ready to seize the many opportunities that AI offers.
- I think it was a conference that was very much about innovation. I hope that people take home innovative ideas, such as the use of AI for everything it can do. And maybe also that some of them will open their eyes to it and say: "We should go back to the organization and use it to become more efficient and better," says Claus G. Theilgaard.
