Summary

Greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity and district heating sectors in Denmark will be "almost zero" in 2030, according to a report released by the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) on Friday.

The DEA said in its Climate Status and Projection 2023 report that "in 2025 the electricity and district heating sectors' share will have fallen to 3 percent and in 2030 to just 0.1 million tons of carbon dioxide, corresponding to less than 1 percent of the total net emissions."

The electricity and district heating sector, which is widely used in Denmark, is a local system for distributing renewable energy generated by the combustion of recyclables, biomass, and heat waste from factories.

According to the DEA report, the predicted "near zero" share of net emissions by the electricity and district heating sectors will force an increase in the agricultural and transport sectors' net share. Despite their ongoing reductions in emissions, these sectors are projected to "account for nearly 90 percent of the total net emissions" in Denmark by 2030, DEA said.
