Hotel Alexandra is CO2- neutral
Boutique Hotel Alexandra in Copenhagen, which is mostly known for its focus on Danish furniture design, is now also among the hotels in Copenhagen that are at the forefront of fighting the climate change
In March 2009, Hotel Alexandra in the heart of Copenhagen has become CO2-neutral in all its energy consumption of electricity, heating, and gas. This choice is the result of the fact that Hotel Alexandra is already a hotel that has for the longest time been environmentally certified by trade organization HORESTA’s eco-label ‘Den Grønne Nøgle’ (The Green Key).

Hotel Manager Jeppe Mühlhausen says: ”It is to us a natural thing to do what we can to run our hotel in a way that is as responsible for the climate as possible”.
Hotel Alexandra thus becomes CO2-neutral in its energy consumption by buying and destroying CO2 quota equivalent to the direct using up of the hotel. The energy sector is comprised by EU’s Quota Directive for CO2 discharge. Every time a CO2 quota is bought and destroyed, it adds to increasing the demand for vacant CO2 quotas, whereby the price of remaining quotas will increase. When the price of CO2 quotas rises, it becomes more attractive for the energy companies to invest in climate-friendly energy.
