The project involves the final process design of a full-scale plant for continuous prodiction of second-generation bioethanol based on results from the IBUS pilot plant, where straw is the basic
The purpose of the project is to demonstrate the use of high efficient heat pumps and solar power (thermal and photovoltaic) in low energy prefabricated dwelling units. These dwellings shall reach the
Against the background of the SOL-IND project and experience from Japan, one or more solutions for the integration of PV cell units in highly industrialised housing will be selected. The selected
The project has funded Danish participation in the IEA PVPS programme which provides Danish players with the opportunity to establish international networks as well as to obtain the latest
Current instructional material on solar and light energy for electricity production will be mapped to identify the need for supplementary material and to suggest how existing material can be put to
The project aims to enhance current knowledge of how temperature and pressure during the production process and the water content of biomass affect pellet quality, and of the mechanical properties of
Through contacts to key players in the biofuels market, various means and policies are considered to identify the most apporpriate package solutions. The results will be used by the European
This project has financed Danish participation in the IEA SHC cooperation on solar cooling. The Danish contribution is a calculation model for the AC-Sun system, which uses new and revolutionary
For this project, The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has analyzed a number of solar heating systems, examining the energy savings that can be obtained from different systems, houses and energy
This project is first phase of a project aiming to determine energy savings in practice for different solar heating systems. Installers and solar collector manufacturers will be invited to install
IEA task 42 identifies existing biorefineries and process potential, prepares common definitions and standards for classifying and assessing technical, financial and environmental advantages and
The project comprises phase 1 of a fact-finding and development programme to ensure relevant offers of PV lessons. The objective is to offer architects, advisers, designers and craftsmen working with
The experience gained in Germany suggests that grid-connected PV units cannot use the standard design optimally under North European conditions. This project collects key data from Danish PV systems
Methods are devised for online control of biofuel pellet quality using, for instance, mechanical durability, fine particles, pellet density and length and particle size as parameters. The new methods
The project enables Denmark to resume its activities in the IEA implementing agreement on hybrid and electric vehicle (IA-HEV), dealing with, for instance, electric cars with batteries and fuel cells
These two projects continue the publication of the eight-page news magazine Bioenergy Research with six issues a year. The magazine goes over new research results and features debate-triggering and
One of the current topics of the IEA’s cooperation on research in fuel wood chips is forecasts of fuel resources, technical production, wood fuel transport, valuation, long-term storage of decomposed
The purpose of the project has been to make a book on the best examples of low-energy buildings in Denmark. The book was completed in autumn 2011 with Solar City Copenhagen as publisher and the Danish
Process optimisation is performed at the MaxiFuels pilot plant at DTU in the context of, for instance, membrane distillation of ethanol, separation of the permanent residual fraction from glucose
The Castor plant’s gasification reactor is developed to gasify wood pellets instead of wood chips, and an aesthetic and technically efficient design of the plant is developed for adaptation into a
