A press release by the Ministry of Climate and Energy of Denmark (at the website of the UN Climate Change Conference 2009 ) describes its activities in achieving its renewable energy targets. Denmark boasts of a 17% renewable energy achievement in 2007 (that is, 17% of its total energy consumption is supplied by renewable energy). About 30 percent of the Danish electricity supply is based on renewable energy, and wind power reportedly contributes 20 percent. However, a large part of the Danish renewable energy production comes from the burning of biomass, including biodegradable waste. "When combined with the effective exploitation of fuel in Combined Heating and Power (CHP) plants which produce both heat and electricity from the same fuel, biomass contributes around ten percent of the total Danish energy consumption". Denmark is targeting a 30% renewable energy target by 2011, which is more than the 20% renewable energy target of the EU..
