    Selected statistics on Energy consumption

    This page shows selected popular statistics on the subject of Energy consumption. In Statbank Denmark, you can find more data and compile your own statistics.

    Manufacturing industries with the highest energy consumption

    The three industries in Denmark with the highest energy consumption are Food products, beverages and tobacco, Oil refineries etc. and Manufacture of plastic, glass and concrete. There is huge variation in the energy consumption of the individual industries. One of the reasons is that some manufacturing processes require a lot of energy and others do not.

    Energy consumption in manufacturing industries

    The purpose of energy census for the manufacturing industry is to analyze volume and composition of the energy consumed by the manufacturing industry.

    Data on energy consumption by manufacturing industry is provided bi-annual from 1980 and latest 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Natural gas weekly (experimental statistics)

    The purpose of the experimental weekly statistics on natural gas is to provide an early indicator of trends in consumption of natural gas and the import dependency. The statistics show weekly data on storage and consumption of natural gas in the current year compared to previous years.

    Use of firewood and other types of biomass for heating purposes in dwellings and holiday cottages

    The purpose of the study is to assess the number of wood stoves, etc., and to calculate the consumption of firewood and other biomass for heating in Danish households' homes and holiday homes. The results of the study are used, among other things, for the Danish Energy Agency's annual energy statistics and the Ministry of the Environment's assessment of emissions from wood stoves in Denmark. The study is based on a survey sent to a sample of households in Denmark. The study is conducted every two years, and reports dating back to 2009 can be found on the Danish Energy Agency's website. Statistics Denmark carried out the current study in collaboration with the Danish Energy Agency.
