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
Being a Danish knowledge centre, Risø National Laboratory-DTU collects and communicates information about Danish energy publications to the IEA database ETDEWEB (www.etde.org/etdeweb). Moreover
The project plans and builds a newly developed standard house of low-energy class 1 (from project ENS-33031-0089), whose energy performance and indoor climate are documented by detailed measurements
At present, there are no safety-technical testing facilities for hydrogen and fuel cells in Denmark, and there is hardly any commercial basis for running such facilities. The project identifies the
The project develops a design complex for a district heating system, which, by using new technologies, materials and operating modes, will be able to lower total costs by so much that tomorrow’s low
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
Aalborg University and Risø/DTU have developed a model to estimate responses and structural reliability of wind turbines under normal operation. Various Monte Carlo simulation algorithms were tested
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
The project develops proton-conducting and mixed proton-electron conducting materials stable in atmospheres containing CO2. The materials will be used in future energy-efficient and environmentally
The objective of the project was to improve the durability of the membrane electrode assemblies of PEM fuel cells by studying the basic degradation phenomena of carbon supported Pt catalysts and
Center for Energy Materials develops materials which play key roles in the creation, storage or conversion of energy, thus underpinning future energy systems. The Center has focused on five areas
The EU's and the Danish government's goal of replacing major parts of fossil fuels with sustainable energy sources requires new processes to be developed for conversion and storage of energy, for
Use of cellulose for biofuel production requires the cellulose to be degraded into small molecules. Several different enzymes can be used for this prupose. The project aims to develop a method for
Today, wind turbine control systems are designed separately from its structural, aerodynamic qualities, but to achieve cheaper, more reliable wind turbines, the design phases need to be united into
The project studied sediment bed conditions, scour/erosion, and quick-sand-like conditions that may occur due to the effects caused by wave and current action. Illustration from laboratory experiment
