PPO on Samsø
Samsø, the official Danish 100% Renewable Energy Island, is situated in the Baltic Sea just in the heart of Denmark. In 1997 Samsø won a competition arranged by The Danish Energy Agency, with the following critrias

• A realistic plan for 100% conversion of the energy supply system to renewable energy
• Major reductions in energy consumption
• The use of familiar technology
• A conversion period of about 10 years
• Broad local commitment to the project
• Central location in Denmark and significant tourism

Allready before the 10 years had passed, Samsø reached 100% Renewable Energy supply, but only by compensating the fossil fuel consumption, specially  in the transport sector, by surplus power production from the off-shore wind farm. Therefore Samsø decided to start implementation of local produced PPO in the transport sector, and if nesesary, exchange surplus wind power with PPO from the main land. In 2004 Folkecenter supplied the first oil expeller for demonstration, paid by savings from the wind power production on Samsø. Later on, local farmers has invested in the own PPO production equipment and conversion of vehicles. DAJOLKA has supplied the conversion technology and the training of the local mechanics.
