Power station EU ETS CO emissions totalled 10.8 million
2
tonnes in 2011 compared with 11.8 million tonnes in 2010.
In 2011, the downward trend in CO emissions per kWh
2
generated continued as a result of lower consumption of
coal and increased wind generation. CO emissions per
2
electricity and gas energy unit generated were 486 g/kWh
in 2011 against 524 g/kWh in 2010.
Green electricity and heat generation accounted for 29%
versus 30% in 2010. The marginal decline was due to higher
generation from new gas-fired power stations, which was
only partly offset by higher generation from wind farms.

Health and safety factors form part of the ambition to
operate the company responsibly and have committed and
highly skilled employees.
There were 74 lost time injuries in 2011, including 40
among suppliers. Converted to lost time injuries per one
million hours worked (LTIF), the total number of injuries at
DONG Energy and the Group’s suppliers fell from 4.6 in
2010 to 4.1 in 2011, the lowest ever in DONG Energy’s history.
The injury frequency target set for 2011 was 5.2. For
2012, the target has been tightened to 4.1, equivalent to
the level achieved in 2011.
In 2011, there were two tragic incidents in which three
persons lost their lives. Onboard a coal tanker, two persons
died when they entered an area below deck where there
was no oxygen. At a construction site, a subcontractor employee
died during a fire in a tower. DONG Energy takes
these accidents very seriously and has stepped up preventive
action.
In 2011, the Group continued its efforts to develop a
strong safety culture focusing on risk assessment and proactive
prevention as well as follow-up on all incidents to
continuously improve safety performance at both DONG
Energy and its contractors and partners.
