The Danish government has unveiled a new energy roadmap until 2025. The country aims to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2030 by 70% compared to the 1990 level, which corresponds to a 10 MtCO2eq reduction. The technical emission reduction potential is estimated at 24-32 MtCO2eq for existing green technologies by 2030, in addition to the concrete initiatives of the agricultural scheme. The roadmap includes 24 initiatives that must be in place by 2025 at the latest, including a proposal for CCS, hydrogen and green fuels strategies. The government also plan to impose a more uniform CO2 levy and to review existing climate targets. The roadmap is estimated to cost DKK 10-15bn/year (€1.3-2bn/year) until 2030.
Since 2007, CO2 energy emissions from energy combustion declined on average by 4.6%/year to 30 MtCO2 in 2019 (i.e. -41% below their 1990 level).
