Development and initiatives within the field of energy. Note on status 1994; Udvikling og initiativer paa energiomraadet. Statusnotat 1994

Abstract

Environmental considerations are being included in Danish energy policy to an increasing extent. The government has diligently followed the recommendation of the United Nations` World Commission (1987) for the radical reduction of carbon dioxide emission. Since 1990 much effort has been put into energy conservation initiatives. The Danish people support the cause of energy conservation resulting in carbon dioxide emission reduction. During 1994 the effect of taxation on industrial pollutive emission was evaluated and it was found that it was unlikely that the 2005 goal for a 20% CO{sub 2} reduction could not quite be achieved whereas international goals could be met by Denmark. It is recommended that existing initiatives for reducing CO{sub 2} emission must be intensified and that new initiatives are needed in order to achieve goals for pollution abatement. This situation will be considered in detail in connection with the planned revision of energy policy in 1995. The long-term aim is to reduce energy consumption by half. International activities will have a significant effect on possibilities for achieving the Danish goals for energy conservation. It is thus essential for Denmark that a more competitive international market is based on the principle of CO{sub 2} reduction loyally followed  More>>

It is thus essential for Denmark that a more competitive international market is based on the principle of CO{sub 2} reduction loyally followed by other countries. The status of the follow-up of Danish energy policy of since 1990 is described in addition to an evaluation of the results of the Danish government`s CO{sub 2} package, which aimed at producing economical incitements for energy saving, and a description of international developments related to environmental protection.
