While sustainability may take a backseat in some decisions due to geopolitical pressures, there remains an interest in pursuing green practices where possible. This Morning Fuel broadcast, key stakeholders joined us in our Headquarters studio to explore how to balance security and sustainability within the naval defence sector.
What was discussed?
As Denmark ramps up defence investments in response to heightened geopolitical tensions and the strategic importance of the Arctic, sustainability risks being overshadowed. Yet, the question remains: Can green practices still play a role in naval development?
In this 45-minute session, our panel of experts shared insights on:
• The role of marine fuels from a defence perspective and the global security outlook.
• Technological challenges in balancing operational needs with environmental responsibility.
• Lessons from the civil maritime sector that can inspire defence strategies.
Who joined the conversation?
• Claus Lundholm Andersen, Commodore and Deputy National Armaments Director
• Bo Cerup-Simonsen, CEO, Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping
• Lars Bo Larsen, Executive Director, National Defence Technology Center and former Danish ambassador to the EU’s Foreign and Security Policy (PSC/COPS)
• Nikolaj Christoffer Lundsteen, Market Director for Defence, COWI A/S
Moderated by Jakob Dybdal Christensen, Market Director, COWI.
