It is a well-known fact that the Danish City of Copenhagen is determined to become carbon neutral by 2025. Now, it has unveiled its plans for an important step towards achieving this goal. More specifically, the municipality announced that it will begin trials of zero-emission zones from 2023.
A zero-emission zone is one that will only be accessible by electric and hydrogen vehicles. Reducing the number of diesel and petrol cars in the city will have numerous benefits for both residents and the environment; that is, it will guarantee cleaner air and less noise in the area.
According to the Mayor of Technical and Environmental Affairs Ninna Hedeager Olsen, the creation of these zones is a simple and flexible way of reducing pollution. Taking this further, the municipality has decided to test out three flexible categories of zero-emission zones which can all be expanded geographically and to include more types of vehicles.
The establishment of these zones will undoubtedly make Copenhagen a safer and cleaner city. What is more, it will bring it closer to achieving its goal of becoming carbon neutral.
