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
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
From a power conversion point of view it has been demonstrated that solar cell segmentation can be performed and a high performance local cell controller can also be made. The project has developed so
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 purpose of the project “Customized PEC modules” was to move from the production hand-made individual DSCs in the laboratory to the production of DSC modules in a semi-automated process. At 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
The project will focus on establishing a foundation for the production of cost-efficient PVs and modules meeting the architectural requirements. The value chain from silicon crystals to the production
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
