Bhutan has several very large hydro electric (dam) facilities due to all the water in the country. They produce huge amounts of electricity -- more than the small country needs. So they sell their excess electricity to India. Simple calculation, nothing magical here. Few countries have this advantage.

[@alekspapez]

@@revolutionarycomrade I did my research just now and got a bit wiser, thank you. The claim comes because they have lots of greenery and don't use much energy, which is fantastic, no doubt about it.

Also I hope they can keep emitting so little carbon going forward and still get the benefits of our new technology. Thanks again.

[@RMJ1984]

Being from Denmark myself and as much as i love the goal of co2 neutral. Look at the picture here 0:55. Can you telle me what is wrong ?. Lack of nature and vegetation. We really need to give nature more room in the cities. Imagine if just a few of those buildings were demolished and converted into forest areas, or if we used the rooftops for flowers, to help out bees and other insects. You could even have walkways joining buildings together. suddenly there is a park on the top of the city. Maybe some day, before it's too late. Concrete cities with a few lone tree's here and there makes me depressed. It's so cold and sterile.

[@DirectorBird]

I agree. What do you think about central park in NYC?

[@ligametis]

I totally agree with you. I really think new developments should leave more space for nature and trees. There is a really big problem in European cities that due to wanting to have biggest possible profit and highest density we are not creating but still destroying those remaining tiny city green spaces. For example in my home city Vilnius green spaces and trees are now looked upon as useless and dirty objects that should be destroyed by building more "useful" buildings. On the other hand, old towns are exception and could remain dense because they are very important for other reasons. They have irreplaceable unique history and culture that we should continue to protect. Due to good integration with nature I really like mid century modern housing, they are dense enough to be functional but are still short enough (3-5 floors) to have enough light and do not feel overcrowded. They also usually have many trees, big yards, sport facitities and playgrounds near them.

That is absolutely true, and I for one admire Bhutan so much, not only for the fact that the country is clean but also for the King who wants to keep it that way. But you can not compare Thimphu the capital city of Bhutan to Copenhagen, we are talking about a fully modern city with transportation systems, modern housing and one of the highest standards of living. Usually that kind of development is bad for the environment, but Copenhagen and Denmark as a whole is showing the world that it is possible to live in the western world and be good to the environment, that is the message. Many countries are much cleaner then Denmark, no doubt about that...Love and respect, from Copenhagen.

Lithium batteries on existing EVs are responsible for large pollution from manufacturing process, last less than 8 years, have low capacity and soon will be obsolete(solid state batteries are coming).

one unintended consequence of LED lighting is that it is making cities much brighter at night leading to problems with migrating birds and other critters. Cant the brightness of LED be controlled and decreased?

[@NATIK001]

It definitely can, it's just a question of regulation. LED lights can be made at basically any brightness level or heat color level. What is usually done though is not to reduce brightness significantly but rather than create directional lamps which cause less bleed upwards, LED lights are also better at this than old filament bulbs because LED naturally emit light in one direction vs filaments naturally shinning in all directions. LED lighting is better than filaments in every way including the ability to control their exact brightness and color with almost perfect precision.

[@wrightgregson9761]

@@NATIK001 can LED's brightness be controlled by adjusting the amount of power going into the unit? Or does the light have to be built to use only a specific amount of power.

If only the US could pursue green energy technologies like the rest of the world... Everybody needs to support the Green New Deal proposal in Congress.

[@songbirdforjesus2381]

Obama did that and it was a disaster because of corruption

[@BIOHAZARDXXXX]

@@songbirdforjesus2381 No it wasn't because Obama never did the Green New Deal. The proposal never existed until early last year.

Netherlands is with you!

[@deu8894]

Denmark showing the world how things should be done in a bid to enhance quality of life for urban dwellers.

[@drdewott9154]

Not just Urban dwellers but everyone. We're all in the same boat, everyone on the planet and so it's a shared responsibility of ours to make sure that the only planet we have is still habitable for our future generations. I mean if you were born in a world with massive food shortages, a large destruction of natural life and many wonders and cultures from just a few generations ago completely destroyed, then yeah You would be upset at your ancestors! And if we all don't change course for a better future, then we might just become those ancestors to that potential child!

The B1M has over 1 million subscribers so let's not MISINFORM. BHUTAN is a country that's carbon neutral since 2018 and its capital is THIMPHU.

[@davewagner5206]

Thanks for this informational and well made-up video, as all your channel's videos! I enjoyed this Video, and would like to get more about eco-friendly and green cities from the definitive video channel of construction, so i subscribe to the B1M.

[@noahlindegaard9824]

Finally my city:))

[@jacksciarabba1113]

This didn’t show up in my sub box, but so glad I found it

[@TheB1M]

It's an issue with KZbin that they are resolving.

[@DeadlySIlence92]

What about blocking dirty ships from the ports in and around copenhagen? What about the Transport of goods throughout the city? Zero emission lorries, transport via rail... Mention some new buildings with positive energy consumption. What about renaturation in and around the city? Any projects planned? Btw: Great video, but too short for a detailed overview of all projects

[@omega1231]

A comment on renaturation, before the 1600s more or less only Jutland had forests, not because we used all the woods for ships, but simply because our soil doesn't support natural forest growth that well, especially on Fyn and Sjælland, too much sand and rock, so most indiginous trees are hardwoods, which doesn't have a tendency to grow into thick and big forests like coniferous trees do. For the past 400 and some odd years we've had by royal decree tons of forests planned, planted and cultivated, mostly because the king wanted the perfect hunting forest so he built several trial forests, which eventually led to Store Dyrehave which if anything is architecturally interesting. A new development on this part is that several forests have been planned to let them grow wild, until now all the forests have been carefully managed by naturstyrelsen (A governmental organ concerned with the management of all public forests and nature reserves in all regards) but they intend over the next 40 years or so to essentially grow the ecology and sustainability of the forests by reintroducing nature in the mix, which was never really present, bar of course the obvious when dealing with something as natural as forest ecology. There are also talks about a literal naturation of parts of Copenhagen, where housing is built in cohesion with nature instead of on top of it etc. it was also specifically concerned with drainage of rainwater, redirecting rain flow to create ponds etc. but last i heard about that it was very much on the theoretical level*. No buildings have positive energy consumption, that's practically impossible, what you can do is make the house provide atleast some energy itself, by f.ex. installing solar cells on your roof, but the idea that a house can in itself produce more energy than it consumes is farfetched, especially in a relatively cold country, although we are very good at insulation which does help energy consumption, it will never amount to net positive, at best you can aim for neutral, if that's even what you meant by that, you may have meant that the source of energy is renewable and therefore positive, i'm not sure lol. On the dirty ships, which i agree is one of our biggest challenges considering we are home to one of the worlds biggest freighter companies, Mærsk, but Mærsk issued a statement december last year saying that they aim to severely cut the use of fossil fuels by 2050, although they say that it will require that the technology to do so existing by 2030 and to that they've pledged considerable ressources in innovation in not only co2 neutral ships, but co2 neutral production aswell, and to that when talking about Mærsk, that's alot of ressources, like alot, probably inconcievable amounts of resources in terms of financing ships and the innovation of such, in a statement the COO of Mærsk, Søren Toft, said "The next 5-10 ten years are the most important. We will invest considerable resources in innovation and fleet technology, with the goal of developing and improving the technical and economic sustainability of fossil-free solutions" He also pointed out that one of the biggest hurdles is the range of batteries and the fact that a ship can't just park and recharge, although at the same time he points out that now is the right time to act since a ship normally has a lifespan of 20-25 years. www.jv.dk/business/Maersk-vil-vaere-CO2-neutral-i-2050/artikel/2668317 Zero emission lorries is a goal, but for now individual companies aim more toward hybrids, probably because of cost and lack of true electrical heavy weight lorries. The problem is that the transport of goods is almost exclusively privately owned so it's not so easy for the government to demand changes, there's also alot of factors to consider and in the end such things take time regardless, but alot of transport companies are mindful of it, especially considering it's good PR. The railway in Denmark is a monopoly, to move all transport of goods to rails would be to give alot of oney and power to a single company, which is employed by the government, the government own the tracks, but the private company which name eludes me at the moment owns all the trains, although with subsidities from the government, considering our economy i think aiming for electrical lorries and improving the production of them should be the main goal. I hope that atleast provided some detail not in the video. *www.tredjenatur.dk/portfolio/klimakvarter/

[@haviour305]

Great content, narration and music!

[@TheColinputer]

Great video as always B1M! And good job to Copenhagen for taking the steps to do this. Sadly however in so many placed around the world the governments are in bed with the oil/coal and all that companies that they almost do the opposite.

[@jordansullivan5764]

How exciting! I'm visiting Copenhagen this summer :D

[@KenKobayashiRasmussen]

Copenhagen has just been nominated Number one best city to visit 2019 by Lonely Planet, we are looking forward to having you, please don't litter on our streets though...*S*

[@novemtigris3041]

"Copenhagen plans to become the world’s first carbon-neutral capital" Thimpu, the capital of Bhutan, where the entire country is carbon negative: *Am I a joke to you?*

[@thomasnorb4077]

Yes, it is a joke. It's a tiny town with just 115,000 people, in a poor country. They didn't change their consumption/pollution dramatically, they never had much to begin with. They do produce 2.2 million tons of CO2 yearly. Bhutan is a very lucky country in terms of resources, which allows them to offset all of their pollution with forests and hydropower.

[@hedgehog3180]

It should be mentioned that it isn't just Copenhagen that has these commitments, multiple cities around Denmark have made commitments to becoming carbon neutral and in general the country is rocketing ahead with the majority of power coming from CO2 neutral sources and only 3 remaining coal power plant all of which there are plans to close or convert.

[@supersoslox]

Cities have 50% of the population, but release 3/4 of the co2? That's INSANE

[@lessismore3015]

I am from Belgium and seeing how my country performs i get the desire to move to Denmark 😅

[@lessismore3015]

@Will Roberts not really 😅

[@andrewjohnson6716]

As a fellow Belge, I know exactly what you mean.

[@michelleheegaard]

Although I am very proud that Copenhagen is making this well-needed push, I would like to point that comparatively to other countries and their mega-cities, the Danish capital is more the size of a town. I love the political message the government is trying to send but I can imagine that this kind of transformation would proof more difficult in other countries with much larger cities than the ones we have in Denmark.

[@danielbourne8189]

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen

[@brabblemaster401]

I get its great to be good to the environment but I couldn't deal with community heating/cooling. I like my house warm and cold and want the ability to set it at what I want. Also I wont buy a electric vehicle for a while, until I can get long ranges or as fast charging as filling up my tank. Also it needs to be able pull large amounts that a normal Chevy Silverodo can pull today. One more thing I dont understand we dont do is put solar panels on top of our supermarkets like Walmart/Target. Instead of putting them in fields, why dont we save the space and use rooftops.

[@f1nn0]

But if built like here in Denmark you can like your home warm and cold as you want :-)

[@ic.xc.]

This is not entirely accurate guys. Its a projection made by the government here, but it doesn't mean it's going to be the case by 2025. Consumption of energy by Danes isn't going to decrease... Quite the opposite.

[@JRPGGUY]

Hopefully more cities follow
