Denmark unveils energy plan to be ‘free from Putin’

Denmark presented on Tuesday a roadmap to end its dependence on Russian gas through a mix that includes renewable energy and biogas to become  "free" from President Vladimir Putin.

While the European Union has refused to ban Russian oil and gas over the Ukraine war so far, the 27-nation bloc aims to cut its gas imports from the country by the end of the year. Individual member countries have also unveiled plans to cut their use of Russian fossil fuels.

The plan presented by the Danish government includes moving half of the 400,000 households that are heated with gas to district heating networks or electric heat pumps by 2028.
