Project

Advanced Nano-Resonators for High-Resolution Monitoring of Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Lakes and Wetlands

Lakes and wetlands are important sources of CH4 and CO2 emissions, but the magnitude and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The goal is to develop an innovative dual CH4/CO2 sensor for real-time, in-situ quantification of dissolved gas in freshwater systems.

PROJECT

Grid Capacity-Aware Investment Roadmap for Eco-Industrial Clusters

GRACE aims to develop a flexible investment roadmap for eco-industrial clusters by optimizing multi-energy vectors and the utilization and expansion of the electricity grid as the backbone of sector coupling and supply/demand flexibility.Developing a roadmap to maximize the value of local energy clusters requires understanding local potentials, bottlenecks, synergies, and market mechanisms.

In addition to modeling existing supply and demand profiles and identifying options for system integration and sector coupling, we will investigate local dynamic background conditions, including the capacity and flexibility of different units, electricity prices, available capacity in the local electricity grid, grid services, gas and heat prices in the local networks, and seasonal heat demand variations.

Project

IEA DHC Annex TS6

The purpose of the project is to ensure Danish participation in IEA DHC Annex TS6. The Annex is focused on status assessment, ageing, lifetime prediction, and asset management of district heating pipes.

The competencies and activities of Danish participants cover the following areas of the Annex:

  1. Condition Assessment through Drone-based Thermographic Inspection,
  2. Fault Vulnerability Prediction,
  3. Service Life Prediction through Probabilistic Mathematical Models,
  4. Asset Management and Optimal Renovation Planning, and
  5. Knowledge Transfer and Dissemination of the above tasks.

Project consortium: DTU Engineering Technology, SDU, Drone Systems, and Fjernvarme Fyn Distribution

Project period: April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026

The project is funded by EUDP (The Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme)

Project

InnoTech

The climate crisis is the greatest challenge of our time, which educational institutions, businesses, public entities, and citizens must collectively find solutions to. One way to address this challenge is by using data and digital technologies to accelerate innovation. Municipalities and regions are also committed to the green transition and are motivated to find digital solutions to meet national and global climate goals.

Project

Strengthen the Holistic STEM Education in Technical Vocational Education and Training

The project 'Strengthen the Holistic STEM Education in Technical Vocational Education and Training' aims to enhance vocational school teachers' knowledge and skills in organizing relevant, holistic, and coherent STEM education in both vocational education and training (EUD) and vocational upper secondary education (EUX) within the main area of Technology, construction, and transport, with a special focus on the industry's education, e.g., blacksmith and industrial technician.

Project

TransportTech

Implementation of Industry 4.0 technology in the Danish freight transport sector.

Even though Danish freight transport is among the world's elite, it faces increasing demands for sustainability, rising global competition, and pressure on the bottom line. Along with these challenges, Danish freight transport companies are facing a near future with technological quantum leaps. The ambition of the TransportTech project, funded by the Hedorf Foundation and the FDE Foundation, is to kickstart the implementation of digitization technologies in several specific companies while closely monitoring the adoption of the technology.
