Even though Denmark aims to be completely oil-free in 2050, the government will not let a drop of Danish oil go to waste, reports Danish newspaper Politiken on Friday.

"We're trying to get as much as possible out of the North Sea. But we're not extracting it to import it. Its all for our own consumption," comments Rasmus Helveg Petersen to Politiken.
