developing areas. Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all commodities in Chapter 27 of the Harmonised System (HS). Capacity utilisation is calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided

Energy in Greenland, Danish Environmental Protection Agency

Energy in Greenland By investing heavily in hydropower, Greenland is finding it far easier than Denmark to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions. "For environmental, economic and social reasons, future development within the energy sector should be based on sustainability principles without impairing the conditions of life of future generations."

6 FAQs about [A one energy Greenland]

How is electricity produced in Greenland?

Most of the electricity is produced by hydro power such as the Qorlortorsuaq Dam. 70% of Greenland's energy is produced by renewable sources. The rest is produced by oil burned plants. The company employs 400 people, spread on 17 cities and 54 villages. There is a lot of potential yet unbuilt hydro power.

What is the primary energy mix of Greenland?

As presented in Fig. 2, the primary energy mix of Greenland changes notably between 2019 and 2050. In the reference scenario, oil constitutes around 80% of the primary energy consumption, with the rest being supplied mainly by hydropower.

Is Greenland a potential E-Fuels hub?

Greenland's transition from a fossil fuels-based system to a 100% renewable energy system between 2019 and 2050 and its position as a potential e-fuels and e-chemicals production hub for Europe, Japan, and South Korea, has been investigated in this study using the EnergyPLAN model.

Why is Greenland so vulnerable to oil prices?

Greenland's energy system is very vulnerable to oil prices, as it relies on imported oil. Rich wind resources complementary with solar resources may enable a transition to a sustainable and self-sufficient energy system.

Should Greenland invest in solar energy?

Greenland, like the rest of the world, is waiting for the development of financially viable production of solar cells for electricity generation. However, transport costs are a significant consideration for Greenland in implementing solar energy.

Does Greenland supply E-fuel?

This study assumes that Greenland only partially supplies e-fuel and e-chemical demand of importers. All scenarios include Greenland's domestic energy demand. The list of scenarios is as follows: ”Steady Europe”: In 2030, 1.65% of European demand for liquid hydrocarbons is included, in addition to 5% of European demand for e-ammonia and e-methanol.
