Denmark will import natural gas from the German Ruhrgas network to reduce its dependence on oil, although oil will continue to be the major energy source. A national program of energy conservation includes conversion of oil-fired power statons to either coal or to a co-generation system with district heating and the increased use of gas to supply more of the space-heating and industrial-process market. The district-heating network is not expected to expand after Danish natural gas from the North Sea is introduced in 1984, but customers within each network will increase. Supply and underground-storage plans for natural gas are described.
