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 of ODSs (only substances with position numbers in Statistics Denmark's foreign trade information) 1990-2003 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.

In 2004, Greenland imported 4.3 tonnes CFC-11 from Denmark (Statistics Denmark).

In 2004, there were imported 14.8 tonnes HCFC-22 in Greenland (importer data).

No reports of import/exports of 1,1,1-trichloroethane were recorded in 2004.

From the above data, ODP-weighted consumption in Greenland for 2004 was 5.11 ODP tonnes. This is an increase compared to 2003, where the ODP consumption was 4.36 tonnes ODP tonnes.
