Prioritisation within The Integrated Product Policy
3 Danish LCA normalisation data for year 1999
Danish LCA normalisation data (i.e. data on the total emissions from Danish production and final use) were published by Wenzel et al. (1997) referring to year 1990 and updated to 1994 by Stranddorf et
al. (2001). As our project applies emission data from 1999, a Danish normalisation reference for 1999 is an incidental by-product of our work.
As this may be useful for LCA practitioners, it is provided in Table 3.1.
Comparing to the normalisation reference used in this project (see Table 2.16), it should be noted that the normalisation reference in Table 3.1. refers to the emissions by Danish activities only, as defined
by the national accounting principles (Plovsing & Dalgaard 1997), while the normalisation reference in Table 2.16 includes the environmental impacts caused by Danish production and consumption,
including impacts caused abroad by production of products imported to Danish industries and final use (except re-export).
