Masinde Muliro Univesity of Science and Technology © MMUST 2024. DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT BY MMUST Text description provided by the architects. The architects are 3XN and SLA whose design is based on Lemvig’s historic boat-building facilities found in the spectacular natural scenery of the Limfjord and the strong communities of the port The Klimatorium offers an innovative and creative mini-hub for storm surge Its open public facilities and recreational outdoor spaces also offer innovative opportunities to experience and use the unique natural surroundings of Lemvig and the Limfjord A robust and inviting Klimatorium. The main architectural concept of the Klimatorium is pragmatic, and its materials have been kept in wood, concrete, and steel. The symbol of the building is a wooden ‘wave’ that rises above the main entrance and makes the building an easily recognisable landmark. This motif is inspired by Lemvig’s characteristic fishing boats and is a tribute to the area's cultural history and local building customs. © Adam MørkThe floating structure and use of glass give the Klimatorium a distinct contemporary look. The building has two levels and has in terms of scale been adapted to fit in with the existing buildings in the port area. The first floor is surrounded by black-stained wooden slats, which give the building a simple and rustic look and protect it against direct sunlight. © Adam MørkKey to this is the project’s landscape

structure in Lemvig,” they claim Commissioned by Lemvig’s City Council and Lemvig Utility, the Klimatorium is a forum for knowledge, education, innovation and development projects within utility services and climate change “The new building is going to support Denmark’s role as an exporter of climate solutions and help establish Lemvig and the Central Denmark Region as a centre of climate change adaptation,” shares the Danish architectural firm “We have aimed to create a building that tells the story about climate stringent expression but forms a wave shape that lends it a distinct and easily decoded identity The wave tells the story of the site and refers to the serious challenges we face as a result of climate change,” shares Jan Ammundsen The two-story building has a relatively simple architecture, informed by a materiality of warm timber rustic expression that resonates with the modern 3XN shares that it was crucial for them to follow the Danish and local way of building unpretentious forms while respecting the earth and so the Klimatorium was built keeping function at the forefront sitting in warm contrast to its skin covered in black-stained wooden slats as the pine continues to venture inside “We did not want it to be an all-glass building but the other reason for using wood is that we wanted the building to have a certain mass and robustness,” says Ammundsen “The landscape is structured along meteorological isobar lines representing prevailing wind conditions in Lemvig – which sometimes lead to flooding The motif interacts with the soft lines of the skater park and forms an intuitive route through the landscape The climate wedge is designed to create pleasant sheltered spaces for recreational use,” explains the design team Intended to become a sheltered spot for the building’s users and onlookers alike the wave is clad in local pine and receives sunlight on its smoothly contoured shape transitioning into stepped seating at its base “We are hoping to create a small possibility for them to sit It is a way for the building to give a little bit back to the town,” adds Ammundsen “It is a way to push for a sustainable solution within a

The scheme adopts a U-shaped floor plan, featuring an open auditorium and multifunctional room for hosting activities and workshops. via 3XNThe Lemvig Climatorium forms part of the Coast to Coast Climate Challenge, a project which seeks to secure natural assets from the negative effects of climate change. In this instance, the asset in question is salt water, with the main purpose of the 3XN scheme being to collect knowledge about saltwater relevant to trade, industry, tourism, and wider society. via 3XNThe Lemvig Climatorium is scheduled to open in 2020 The project was developed for Lemvig Byråd (Lemvig City Council) and Lemvig Vand og Spildevand (Lemvig Water and Wastewater) News of the scheme comes shortly after 3XN revealed their design for a new sporting arena and associated masterplan in Bregen, Norway.

By envisioning the Skate+Park as a social gathering space that would attract people of all ages and interests, we believed it could become a catalyst for revitalisation that would re-brand the harbour front as a recreational hub and re-introduce the harbour as an important asset to the city." says Mikkel Bøgh of EFFEKT. “We have aimed to create a building that tells the story about climate,” states Jan Ammundsen The wave tells the story of the site and also refers to the serious challenges we face as a result of climate change.”Ammundsen and his team at 3XN have designed the new waterfront

eliminating carbon emissions from biogas plants which use this method a research project carried out by the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Lemvig Biogas Plant has shown Through the MeGA-StoRE project (Methane Gas Storage for Renewable Energy) DTU and Lemvig Biogas Plant have tested a new method that basically involves using a biogas plant to convert wind energy into methane gas which can subsequently be transferred to a natural gas grid The first step in the process is to convert the surplus wind turbine energy into hydrogen using electrocatalysis hydrogen is allowed to react with CO₂ in a reactor at the biogas plant to produce methane gas and water The CO₂ can be sourced from the biogas plant itself where it would otherwise be emitted as a waste product “Biogas contains 35 per cent CO₂ of an extremely high purity And if we can store the surplus wind power energy in a carbon source such as methane it’ll be just like with oil: 100 per cent of what we put into the pipe comes out the other end.” So if we use the hydrogen (which is made from surplus wind turbine electricity we will have a carbon-based energy storage facility And very close to 100 per cent of the CO2 is converted into chemically pure methane We already have access to the infrastructure in the natural gas grid where we can store the energy That’s the brilliance of the idea,” Kristensen said In contrast to the typical method where biogas is cleansed of CO₂ and the methane then transferred to the natural gas grid the Lemvig Biogas Plant project has succeeded in capturing the CO2 Not only did this utilize all the carbon in the biogas it also increased methane production by approximately 50 per cent with the help of biogas we are using the Danish fields to collect carbon from the atmosphere by means of photosynthesis—and with the help of wind energy Wind energy has already come a long way in Denmark We’ve made the world sit up and take note—we’re the ones who came up with the solution The next goal is to store the electricity so that in the future we don’t just sell wind turbines but the complete system,” said Professor Per Møller from DTU Mechanical Engineering Daily news
