dbdh in RussiA<br />
RoAd shows in RussiA by thE RussiAn-dAnish tEAm 2009<br />
2009 was exciting and busy for the russian-Danish team rooted in<br />
<strong>DBDH</strong> – when the team continued sector Visits in the Volga area.<br />
More than 1/3 of the <strong>DBDH</strong> members are actively doing business<br />
in russia, either they have build up own production, entered into<br />
joint ventures or are dealing through local distributors. these<br />
companies have joined forces anchored in <strong>DBDH</strong>, and back in 2007<br />
made the decision to arrange at least 2 big events yearly under<br />
the headline “Danish District Heating sector Visits”.<br />
together with locally represented Danish industries, we have<br />
built up a strong team, which have planned the strategy and<br />
the program. project manager svetlana chernova, royal Danish<br />
embassy in Moscow and commercial counselor Klaus sørensen,<br />
Danish consulate general in st. petersburg have also taken great<br />
part in this work.<br />
the Danish ambassador Mr. per carlsen, by the way speaking<br />
fluently russian, has supported our conferences and exhibitions<br />
in russia all the way and opened many a door for the russian-<br />
Danish team. in addition we have had the valuable support from<br />
the Danish energy Agency by senior policy Advisor Mr. Anders<br />
Hasselager who has opened the seminars “energy savings and<br />
energy efficiency” by giving an insight to the remarkable results<br />
in Denmark . we thank both Mr. carlsen and Mr. Hasselager for<br />
their sincere engagement in the work of our team.<br />
in 2008, the team went to perm, izhevsk, samara and saratov, and<br />
in 2009, we continued the road shows of the Volga region.<br />

spring: sector visits to nizhny novgorod and yaroslavl<br />
nizhny novgorod is the capital of the Volga district and apart from<br />
being the third largest city of russia, it is also one of the oldest,<br />
founded in 1221. yaroslavl city is part of the “golden ring” around<br />
Moscow and will celebrate its 1000 year jubilee in 2010. these two<br />
major historic cities were the goals of an April visit.<br />
the “russian-Danish conference on energy savings and energy<br />
efficiency” was opened at the president Hall of nizhny novgorod<br />
Fair under much attention from the district heating and industry<br />
sector, tV, and newspaper Medias. the conference was divided<br />
into two parts, a ”concept seminar” addressing the political<br />
level, and a ”technical seminar” aimed at design institutes and<br />
the technical level of the district heating sector focusing on the<br />
technique behind the results in Denmark. the conference also<br />
included round table meetings with the district heating sector in<br />
nizhny novgorod to discuss the topics the region is facing today<br />
and how we can cooperate on future projects.<br />
A 9-hour long train trip through the russian landscape brought<br />
the delegation to yaroslavl, ready for the second part of the<br />
Danish District Heating sector visits. As in nizhny novgorod, an<br />
important part of the conference in yaroslavl was the round table<br />
meetings. Many people within the district heating sector showed<br />
up to take part in the discussions of possible russian-Danish pilot<br />
projects. A representative from the Danish Ministry of climate<br />
and energy, Ms. oxana chueva, presented possibilities for financing<br />
large energy projects by Joint implementation. At present<br />
Denmark is involved in 6 projects of such kind in russia.
