Denmark's power sector carbon emissions have experienced an overall decreasing trend for most of the century. In 2023, the European country's power sector emissions amounted to almost six million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e), down from over 22 million tons recorded in 2003. The leading power source in Denmark is wind, accounting for more than half of the electricity generated in the country.
