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 develops components with a new composition of materials and more cost-effective production processes for PEM fuel cells to boost performance and reduce costs. The results are demonstrated
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 focuses on developing an SOFC stack technology which is efficient under realistic operating conditions in both small and large facilities. For this purpose, a test facility, for instance
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
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 durability and performance of fuel cells have a major impact on the most important challenges facing fuel cell commerciallization including cost, mass production, system integration, functionality
The project objective was to perfect Danish technology in high temperature PEM fuel cells. It lasted two years and addressed the fuel cell components membranes, cells and cell stacks. The primary
The developed CFD model shows qualitative and quantitative correlation between the model and experiments in a lab scale reactor. When the developed model was implemented in the full-scale plant, it
To develop the market for solid biofuels within the EU, standards are urgently needed. Based on a mandate given by the EC, CEN TC 335 "Solid Biofuels" currently develops such standards based on the
The project is a core project of the Danish SOFC programme. The goal of the project was to continue developing SOFC cell and stack technology while reducing production costs, the aim being to meet the
Nanotechnology can provide possibilities for obtaining new valuable information regarding performance and corrosion protection in power plants. In general, the desired performance of the contact
