CO2PENHAGEN 2009 is the first music and arts festival that focuses on renewable energy and highlights the green products of businesses.

The CO2PENHAGEN Festival aims to raise awareness on the need to lower carbon emissions to prevent climate change. Behind this event are young people such as Energy Crossroads, a group of PhD students from the Technical University of Denmark and students from the design and architecture colleges of Denmark.

The festival is expected to be fun and exciting. There will be competitions such as one that will require participants to produce the most power for the DJ on stage by using stationary exercise bicycles as dynamos. Tour de France riders will be there as guests.
