In terms of diesel, the fuel consumption decreases for agricultural machines
until 2000, due to fewer numbers of tractors and harvesters. After that, the
increase in the engine sizes of new sold machines has more than outbalanced
the trend towards smaller total stock numbers. The fuel consumption for industry
has increased from the beginning of the 1990’s, due to an increase in
the activities for construction machinery. The fuel consumption increase has
been very pronounced in 2005-2008, for 2009; however, the global financial
crisis has a significant impact on the building and construction activities. For
fisheries, the development in fuel consumption reflects the activities in this
sector.
The Navigation sector comprises national sea transport (fuel consumption
between two Danish ports including sea travel directly between Denmark
and Greenland/Faroe Islands) and recreational craft. For the latter category,
fuel consumption has increased significantly from 1990 to 2004 due to the
rising number diesel-fuelled private boats. For national sea transport, the
diesel fuel consumption curve reflects the combination of traffic and ferries
in use for regional ferries. From 1998 to 2000, a significant decline in fuel
consumption is apparent. The most important explanation here is the closing
of ferry service routes in connection with the opening of the Great Belt
Bridge in 1997. For railways, the gradual shift towards electrification explains
the lowering trend in diesel fuel consumption and the emissions for
this transport sector. The fuel consumed (and associated emissions) to produce
electricity is accounted for in the stationary combustion part of the
Danish inventories.
The largest gasoline fuel consumption is found for household and gardening
machinery in the Commercial/Institutional (1A4a) and Residential (1A4b)
sectors. Especially from 2001-2006, a significant fuel consumption increase is
apparent due to considerable growth in the machinery stock. The decline in
gasoline fuel consumption for Agriculture/forestry/fisheries (1A4c) is due
to the gradual phasing out of gasoline-fuelled agricultural tractors.
In terms of residual oil there has been a substantial decrease in the fuel consumption
for regional ferries. The fuel consumption decline is most significant
from 1990-1992 and from 1997-1999.
