On December 10, 2024, the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities of Denmark, together with the Danish Standards Association, officially issued the Mandatory Management Specification for Carbon Neutrality in the Whole Life Cycle of Elevators, which comprehensively upgraded the carbon emission control, green design and energy-saving transformation of elevators in Denmark. The core contents include: First, establish a carbon emission accounting system for the whole life cycle of elevators, clarify the accounting method and boundary of carbon emissions in the whole process of elevator raw material production, manufacturing, transportation, installation, operation, maintenance and scrapping, and unify the carbon emission measurement standard. Second, formulate mandatory limits for carbon emissions of newly installed elevators, clarifying that from June 1, 2025, all newly installed elevators in Denmark must meet the carbon emission limit requirements, the limits will be tightened year by year, and net zero emissions must be achieved in the whole life cycle by 2030. Elevators that do not meet the standards are prohibited from being installed, sold and used. Third, clarify the low-carbon transformation requirements for existing elevators, requiring that in-use elevators with a service life of more than 10 years must complete low-carbon and energy-saving transformation before 2035, and the carbon emission intensity will be reduced by more than 50%. Fourth, establish a green certification and labeling system for elevators. All elevators must obtain the official green and low-carbon certification of Denmark, and the carbon emission grade label must be posted in a prominent position in the car. Fifth, supporting incentive policies, giving tax relief, green subsidies and other incentives to elevator user units that complete low-carbon transformation in advance and achieve net zero emissions. Sixth, strengthen supervision and punishment. For elevators that do not meet the carbon emission requirements, they will face an administrative fine of up to 150,000 Danish kroner, and continuous violations will be subject to superimposed penalties. The specification has a 6-month transition period and was officially implemented on June 10, 2025.
