In the Copenhagen Cleantech Cluster, the projects aiming to support and build better test and demonstration facilities are highly diverse. They range from the construction of Copenhagen Cleantech Park to Risø DTU, where full-scale commercial demonstration plants and new technologies can be displayed and tested.

Our main objective is to create a framework for testing and demonstration which is attractive to both foreign and national cleantech companies.

The Projects

Copenhagen Cleantech Park / ST. Rørbæk

The Copenhagen Cleantech Park is a new city development project under CCC in Northern Zealand. The future city development is expected to have 14,000 inhabitants, 6,000 jobs and 6,000 homes. The Cleantech Park's buildings and infrastructure will be situated to make the best possible use of state-of-the-art energy and environmental technologies.

The power supply for the development will be based on renewable energy, such as thermal heat systems, wind power, solar cells etc.
Businesses are to reutilize waste products in other local processes, thereby minimizing overall energy consumption as much as possible.

Copenhagen Cleantech Park offers several advantages to stakeholders in the cluster:

• An opportunity for Danish industry to showcase cleantech products and solutions
• The chance to gather knowledge about the challenges of implementation and deployment of cleantech technologies in an urban development project
• The ability to gain practical knowledge of funding models, including public private partnerships

Demonstratorium

Risø DTU will be opening a large "demonstratorium" where companies can test and develop their cleantech ideas and take advantage of the broad range of research activities that Risø DTU undertakes.

Technologies can be tested both as standalone as well as integrated systems. The demonstratorium is supplemented by a mapping of relevant research facilities, equipment and skills at DTU and the University of Copenhagen.

The demonstratorium has been designed in close collaboration with the Municipality of Roskilde, which will establish Risø Park, a business park designed to complement Risø DTU's facilities in general and the demonstratorium in particular.

The demonstratorium offers several advantages:

• A physical link between the research community and companies and thus the basis for further, joint research and development projects
• Increased visibility, such as a showroom for potential or current customers
• Products will, after professional testing and documentation in the demonstratorium, enjoy higher credibility
• Linkage to students and thus better opportunities for recruiting qualified employees.
