The UN City project has achieved 84 out of 110 possible points via energy efficient and environmentally friendly construction.
• Seawater is used to cool the building
• Rainwater is used for the toilets
• Solar system on the roof
• Green roofs with nature plants not requiring artificial watering
• Highly insulated building envelope with low-energy glass
• Use of environmentally friendly products and sourcing of wood and concreate with an 800 km distance.

In 2012, UN City won an EU GreenBuilding Award for New Buildings, after cutting its predicted energy consumption by more than half. With energy use under 50 kWh/m2 a year, the building was granted a Low-Energy Class 1 rating, the most energy efficient according to the Danish building code.

The Hornsea 1 offshore wind farm will be the largest offshore wind farm in the world. Once officially opened in 2020, it will produce enough energy to power over 1 million homes.

With a capacity of 1.2 gigawatts (GW), Hornsea One will be the world's first offshore wind farm to exceed 1 GW in capacity.

Located off the Yorkshire coast, Hornsea One will span a huge area of approximately 407 square kilometres, which is over five times the size of the city of Hull. The offshore wind farm will use 7 megawatt (MW) wind turbines, with each one 190 metres tall – larger than the Gherkin building in London.

In 2007 a group of international investors came up with the idea of establishing a wind park close to the large desert lake Turkana.

Twelve years later 365 gigantic wind turbines from Vestas are producing power to Kenya’s population of approx. 48 million people.

On average, the turbines deliver around 150,000 megawatt hours per month corresponding to approx. 15 per cent of Kenya’s total electricity production.

The number of power cuts in Kenya has been reduced considerably since the turbines started to run at full speed.

The production of fossil-based energy is more than halved from around 230,000 MW hours in January 2018 to around 100,000 MW hours in January 2019. Consequently, the CO2 emissions have been considerably reduced.
