Renewable Energy Status 2023
Renewable Energy Status 2021/2022
Gabriel sources 100% renewable electricity from diverse renewable sources in Denmark. In 2021/2022, two thirds of renewable energy consumed by Gabriel was sourced from Danish offshore wind farms located outside of Copenhagen, and a third from Danish biomass. In 2023, two thirds of renewable energy was sourced from Danish wind, and one third from biomass.
The production of renewable electricity is certified by Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). These are the accepted legal instrument through which claims of renewable energy generation and consumption are substantiated in the global renewable energy market. There are different types of EAC for different regions of the world, and they are all in compliance with the quality criteria set by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol in the latest Scope 2 guidance document.
Sourcing from
Danish Wind
Denmark has been a pioneer in developing commercial wind power both on and offshore, and has currently the highest proportion of wind power in the world. The Danish wind power industry has benefited from close collaboration between public-financed research and the private industry in key areas such as certification, testing and developing of standards during the past decade.
