The EUDP (Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme) is a funding scheme under the Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen), which helps private companies and universities develop and demonstrate new and innovative energy technologies.
The program supports a wide spectrum of energy technologies, i.e. renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency technologies, conversion technologies such as fuel cells and hydrogen, integration of energy systems including storage, more efficient methods for recovery of oil and gas, and storage of CO2.
Through the EUDP, the Danish Energy Agency aims to reach Denmark’s goal of a 70% reduction in CO2 equivalents in 2030 and to support Denmark’s path towards becoming fossil fuel-free by 2050. Thus, the program’s focus is on energy-efficient projects that contribute to the Danish energy industry’s growth and employment.
EUDP support/funding can be sought by private or public enterprises or knowledge institutions, including universities and Godkendte Teknologiske Serviceinstitutter (GTS – government-approved research and organization institutes) that are registered in Danish Central Business Register (CVR). This means that any type of project, from large-scale projects, to SMEs, to companies in collaboration with universities and GTS institutes, are eligible to apply for funding.
Foreign project participants can also apply for funding, as long as the project contributes to the technology development in Denmark, and the main applicant is registered in the Danish Central Business Register (CVR).
If the project is applying for more than DKK 3 million, the application must be completed in English. If the amount of funding requested is less than DKK 3 million, the application can be written in English or Danish.
There is no upper or lower limit for how much funding a project can apply for. Historically, most grants are between 5 and 15 million DKK, but lighthouse projects can be more than 100 million DKK in grant.
Support is given as a funding rate of actual expenses plus an overhead. The funding rate depends on the company size and the project type:
