Analysis to identify the need for new green test facilities
A new analysis will map industry demand for facilities that support the testing of new technologies and solutions within green energy.
28 June 2024
New knowledge and technology are essential to driving the green transition. However, Denmark lacks modern facilities for testing, demonstration, and development (TDD) that can support businesses and researchers in developing and obtaining approval for new green solutions as quickly as possible.
To address this challenge, DBI – The Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology and Force Technology will jointly assess the specific need for TDD facilities within green energy and sector coupling.
The need for TDD facilities has already been highlighted in the business analysis “Power-to-X – a growth area facing challenges”, in which 8 out of 10 companies identified such facilities as being of vital importance.
“TDD facilities can do more than address a specific testing need. They also bring together companies, universities, GTS institutes, and other stakeholders, helping to develop knowledge and build practical experience. This strengthens the capabilities of the organisations involved and can make the facilities focal points for new industrial strengths. However, to achieve that effect, we first need a detailed understanding of industry needs.”
Henrik Hassing
Technical Vice President, Force Technology
“We want to contribute to making Denmark a frontrunner in areas such as Power-to-X. Without a sustainable economic model, this will not happen. It is therefore crucial that technologies and new solutions can be developed, approved, and deployed quickly. With the right TDD facilities, we can help industry move forward and contribute to maintaining the competitiveness of Danish companies in the green transition.”

Research Director, DBI – The Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology
Open dialogue and knowledge sharing
The project will engage stakeholders from across the value chain and investigate their needs through an open dialogue process. Relevant parties will be invited to contribute, helping to ensure that future facilities meet both current and future industry requirements.
The first results of the analysis are expected to be published in spring 2025.
The project is co-funded by the European Union and will be carried out in close collaboration with Erhvervsfyrtårn Syd and Energy Cluster Denmark.
