Participation of Energy Centre Denmark in the EU Commission's OPET network

The project concerns Energy Centre Denmark (ECD)'s participation in EU's OPET network. The OPET network comprises 39 organisations from EU Member States as well associated countries. The aim of the network is to encourage research and development activities as well as the application of environmentally benign energy technologies, thereby fulfilling EU environmental goals. ECD's project activities will concentrate on biomass, solar and wind energy, rational use of energy (RUE) in buildings and dis trict heating/co-generation. The project includes the following main tasks: (a) Information dissemination of EU's 4'th and 5'th Framework Programme. (b) Information dissemination of Danish energy technologies via the OPET network. (c) Arranging 2 seminars with a view to defining the state of R&D within RUE in buildings and DH-CHP technologies. (d) Provision of services to Danish market actors on EU developments in the field of energy. In the fulfilment of these tasks ECD will be in close dialogue with Danish market actors and providing linkage to market actors abroad. The expected key result of the project is to sharpen Danish R&D activities and to help with the internationalisation of Danish companies in the selected technological areas
