Danish Energy Consumption Continues to Decline on Efficiency Improvements

Total Danish energy production in 2005 broke all records at 1,311 PJ. This is 0.7 per cent more than in 2004. The production of crude oil fell by 3.9 per cent, while production of natural gas rose by 10.5 per cent. The increase in production of natural gas is due to greater exports of natural gas rather than changes in domestic consumption, which in fact fell.

In 2005, the degree of self-sufficiency was 155, meaning that in 2005, 55 per cent more energy was produced that consumed in Denmark. Today, Denmark is the only EU country with net exports of energy.
