5.1 Denmark: Scale-down results

Scaling factors

Below is a list of available scales. Not all scales are used, but they can be used to indicate the country population, GDP size, etc. The description column explains the data in the scale, the source, and the year. The scale represents the country's percentage of the total EU consumption.

Top-down results

The scale-down results are in TWh/year. Most products only have electricity savings, but several heating-related products have both electricity and fuel savings. Savings for tyres are only calculated for fuel and not for electric vehicles.
The Impact Accounting report only calculate savings for fuel.
