Risø DTU and the Municipality of Roskilde become green partners
Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, DTU, and the municipality of Roskilde have entered into an agreement for a joint development project to strengthen the development of sustainable energy technologies.
Actually it is two projects that are now being integrated into a joint development project. One project concerns the establishment of a “Demonstratorium” (Test and demonstration facility), the other the construction of a sustainable business park.
The parties will join efforts to find investors from cleantech business who wish to benefit from being located near an internationally leading cleantech research institution. In addition, Scion DTU, a part of DTU and responsible for running several business parks, may engage in the establishment and running of the business park.
Demonstratorium
The demonstratorium is planned to be a central physical unit located at or near Risø DTU. It will include mobile units that can be moved to the research divisions according to need. The facility offers companies the opportunity to install, test and present new technologies in close collaboration with Risø’s scientists.
The businesses are guaranteed a close interaction with the research community while the scientists get the opportunity to explore and undertake research in new cleantech technologies in actual use.
The oppertunities are many and focus will be on the interactions between several sustainable technologies such as new heat pumps, electric vehicles, energy storage, control and regulation systems, wind turbine components, bio-energy plants, solar cells and solar panels, fuel cells and electrolysis plants and energy saving technologies.
