One footprint, in every year's money

Statistics Denmark priced this supply chain in each year's DKK from 1990 to 2023. For the other years we restate the same emissions with the Denmark price index, from a year Statistics Denmark priced. Pick the year of your spend.

Which price, and which warming horizon

Match the price to your invoice, and keep one warming horizon across your whole inventory.

Purchaser price or producer price

The purchaser price is what you paid: the producer's price plus the wholesale and retail margins and the transport to the shop. Statistics Denmark publishes basic prices, the producer's side.

Warming horizon and characterisation model

This factor is published for one set only: AR6, 100 years. Every other horizon and model: not published.

What this number covers

The supply chain behind 1 DKK spent, up to the factory gate: every tier counted in one total, none reported alone.

  1. Upstream

    • Inbound transport
    • Raw materials
    • Upstream fuel (well-to-tank)
    Partly included
  2. Production

    • Fuel combustion
    • Manufacturing
    • Purchased electricity and heat

  3. Also counted

    • Business travel
    • Overheads and services

  4. Your bill

    1 DKK of output at basic prices, before taxes and trade margins. The factor is per DKK here.

    = 0.0044

Outside this boundary

  • Imported inputs
  • Capital goods: buildings, equipment
  • Staff commuting

Statistics Denmark leaves investment out of its supply chains. A capital good you buy is reported under Scope 3, category 2, with its own factor.

Gases

Basis: Excl. biogenic CO₂

  • Fossil CO₂0.0038861.1%
  • Biogenic CO₂0.0019430.6%
  • Nitrous oxide (N₂O)0.0002654.2%
  • Methane (CH₄)0.0002624.1%

Σ 0.00388 + 0.000262 + 0.000265 + 0.00194 = 0.00634347, more than the 0.0044 total Statistics Denmark prints.

Each gas is converted to CO₂e with AR6 100-year warming potentials; biogenic CO₂ and land-use carbon are left out, while methane from biogenic sources is counted.
