Denmark has been allotted a carbon dioxide quota of 2.2 million tonnes to cover gas and oil extraction in the North Sea, while Greenland has not been allotted a single tonne.

This could spell trouble for a planned Alcoa aluminium works in Greenland. The works are projected to emit 612,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year. Oil exploration requires a minimum of one two million tonne emission quota.

Connie Hedegaard, Denmark’s climate minister, spoke with Greenland’s national broadcaster KNR, to whom she was unable to explain the apparent disparity, but said she would be discussing the matter with Premier Kuupik Kleist and developing a good dialogue over the coming months.
