4.2 CH4<br />

CH 4 emission from stationary combustion plants accounts for 9% of <strong>the</strong> total Danish<br />

CH 4 emission. Table 3A-14 lists <strong>the</strong> CH 4 emission inventory for stationary combustion<br />

plants in 2003. Figure 3A-12 reveals that Electricity and heat production accounts for<br />

64% of <strong>the</strong> CH 4 emission from stationary combustion, this being closely aligned with<br />

fuel consumption share.<br />

Figure 3A-12 CH 4 emission sources, stationary combustion plants, 2003.<br />

The CH 4 emission factor for reciprocating gas engines is much higher than for o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

combustion plants due to <strong>the</strong> continuous ignition/burn-out of <strong>the</strong> gas. Lean-burn gas<br />

engines have an especially high emission factor as discussed in Chapter 4.5.2. A considerable<br />

number of lean-burn gas engines are in operation in Denmark and <strong>the</strong>se<br />

plants account for 75% of <strong>the</strong> CH 4 emission from stationary combustion plants (Figure<br />

3A-13). The engines are installed in CHP plants and <strong>the</strong> fuel used is ei<strong>the</strong>r natural gas<br />

or biogas.
