enewable fuels has increased. The Danish fuel consumption fluctuates due to variation<br />

in <strong>the</strong> import/export of electricity from year to year.<br />

Stationary combustion plants account for 57% of <strong>the</strong> total Danish GHG emission.<br />

70% of <strong>the</strong> Danish CO 2 emission originates from stationary combustion plants<br />

whereas stationary combustion plants account for 9% of <strong>the</strong> CH 4 emission and 5% of<br />

<strong>the</strong> N 2 O emission.<br />

Public power plants are <strong>the</strong> most important stationary combustion emission source<br />

for CO 2 , SO 2 and NO X .<br />

Lean-burn gas engines installed in decentralised CHP plants are <strong>the</strong> largest stationary<br />

combustion emission source for CH 4 . Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, <strong>the</strong>se plants are also a considerable<br />

emission source for NMVOC.<br />

Residential plants represent <strong>the</strong> most important stationary combustion source for CO<br />

and NMVOC. Wood combustion in residential plants is <strong>the</strong> predominant emission<br />

source.<br />

The greenhouse gas emission (GHG) development follows <strong>the</strong> CO 2 emission development<br />

closely. Both <strong>the</strong> CO 2 and <strong>the</strong> total GHG emission was higher in 2003 than in<br />

1990, CO 2 by 10% and GHG by 11%. However fluctuations in <strong>the</strong> GHG emission level<br />

are great. The fluctuations in <strong>the</strong> time-series are a result of electricity import/export<br />

and of outdoor temperature variations from year to year.<br />

The CH 4 emission from stationary combustion has increased by a factor of 4,3 since<br />

1990. This is a result of <strong>the</strong> considerable number of lean-burn gas engines installed in<br />

CHP plants in Denmark during this period.<br />

SO 2 emission from stationary combustion plants has decreased by 78% from 1995. The<br />

considerable emission decrease is mainly a result of <strong>the</strong> reduced emission from electricity<br />

and heat production due to installation of desulphurisation technology and <strong>the</strong><br />

use of fuels with lower sulphur content.<br />

The NO X emission from stationary combustion plants has decreased by 23% since<br />

1995. The reduced emission is mainly a result of <strong>the</strong> reduced emission from electricity<br />

and heat production. The fluctuations in <strong>the</strong> emission time-series follow fluctuations<br />

in electricity import/export.<br />

The uncertainty level of <strong>the</strong> Danish greenhouse gas emission from stationary combustion<br />

is estimated to be within a range of ±11% and <strong>the</strong> trend uncertainty within a<br />

range of ±1,7%-age points. The sources contributing <strong>the</strong> most to <strong>the</strong> uncertainty estimates<br />

are <strong>the</strong> N 2 O emission (all plants) and <strong>the</strong> CO 2 emission from coal combustion.<br />
