Green growth in the Triangle Region

In the Triangle Region, green goods and services were sold for around DKK 34 billion in 2022. This corresponds to about 11% of the total green turnover in Denmark.

Over the past 10 years, the turnover of green goods and services has more than doubled in the Triangle Region. The turnover of green goods and services has thus grown by as much as 128%, which is significantly more than in the rest of Denmark, where turnover has only grown by 85%. This shows a marked green growth in the Triangle Region.

The green turnover is primarily generated by industry and the utility sectors, both of which are sectors that have a strong presence in the Triangle Region.

Green employment makes up a large share of total employment in South Jutland, including the Triangle Region. The share of employment in the area related to green turnover amounts to 4.8% in 2022, only surpassed by Central Jutland, where it is as high as 5.0%. This shows that the Triangle Region is one of the most important areas in Denmark when it comes to our production of green goods and services. The large concentration of industry in the area is part of the explanation for why the Triangle Region has a lot of green employment.

Green employment constitutes a larger share of total employment today than 10 years ago. This applies throughout the country, but also especially in South Jutland and including the Triangle Region. This once again underlines the increasing focus on green industries in the Triangle Region.

Looking specifically at the industry in South Jutland, it is also relatively greener than industry in other areas of Denmark (15% is green employment), except for Central Jutland, where 18% of industrial employment is green.
