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) 1990-2006 are shown in Table 1.

Based on the statistics available it was not possible to determine the export of substances other than those shown in the table.

In 2006, Greenland imported 1.8 tonnes CFC-11 from Denmark (Statistics Denmark).

The import of HCFC-22 in Greenland is not possible to determine from Statistic Denmark data. But data from Danish suppliers shows that the export of new HCFC-22 for refrigeration purpose was 4.1 tonnes in 2006.

No reports of import/exports of 1,1,1-trichloroethane were recorded in 2006.

From the above data, ODP-weighted consumption in Greenland for 2006 was 2.02 ODP tonnes. This is a decrease compared to 2005, where the ODP weighted consumption was 14.4 tonnes ODP tonnes. Greenlands ODP weigthed emission is app. 1 ODP tonnes lower than the total Danish 2006 emission.
