Appendix 3 - Consumption and emissions of ozone depleting substances in Greenland

Statistics Denmark registers both imports to Greenland and exports from Denmark to Greenland.

The trends in supply to Greenland during the period 1990 to 2001 are shown in Table 1.

Based on the statistics available it was not possible to evaluate the consumption of substances other than those shown in the table, as these are the only substances specified individually. The export substance group "Halogen derivatives of methane, ethane or propane", which is assumed to contain substances such as HFCs and HCFCs, represented an export to Greenland of 10.1 tonnes in 2001. In 2000 the export was 0 tonnes and in 1999 it was 29.3 tonnes.

There is no information registered on imports of CFCs to Greenland in 2001. In 2000 the import was <0.5 tonnes and in 1999 it was 1.9 tonnes. The import of HCFC-22 cannot be quantified on the basis of information on foreign trade from Statistics Denmark.

The above data does not provide an ODP-weighted consumption for 2001.
