AEA is a general contractor specializing in the design and construction of unique district heating and combined heat and power plants as well as customized energy systems for the industry in Denmark. They operate at the intersection of consulting, optimization, installation and servicing.

The company specializes in carbon emission reduction technologies. That includes proprietary Solid Oxide Electrolyzer Cell (SOEC) high-temperature electrolysis technology, the production of heterogeneous catalysts and the design of process plants based on catalytic processes. Focus areas include hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry (steel and iron, chemicals, cement), long-haul transportation (aviation, shipping, trucking) and clean fuels (bio-diesel and Ultra-Low-Sulfur Diesel (ULSD).

The CHEC research center focuses on chemical engineering principles applied in combustion, harmful emission control, gasification, pyrolysis, catalysis, continuous production of pharmaceuticals and advanced measuring technology. Their primary expertise covers chemical reaction engineering, transport phenomena and design and development of thermal energy processes for conversion of biomass and waste.

DTU Construct, the department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering, develops and utilises science and technical knowledge for the benefit of society and the sustainable development. They undertake research, education, innovation and scientific advice of the highest quality within building design and processes, building construction and safety, building energy and services, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, materials technology, manufacturing engineering, engineering design and thermal energy systems.

From RUC IMT (department of people and technology), researchers from the METRIK (Environment, Energy, Transport – Regulation, Innovation and Climate Policy) and MOSPUS (Mobility, Space, Place and Urban Studies) research groups are involved in the project.

The research in METRIK aims at generating knowledge about the interaction between societal development and technological development with a focus on problems related to environment, energy, nature and resources. The researchers seek to increase impact of the research in academia and in society through frequent collaboration with external stakeholders from industry, authorities and NGO’s. The research often bridges social sciences and natural sciences and technology for example in studies of implementation of renewable energy, where technological insight into resource flows and technology assessments is linked to social science knowledge about regulation and planning.

MOSPUS develops theoretically informed and critical research on the themes of space, place, mobility and urban studies. The work is guided by a strong commitment to social justice and to making more sustainable and democratic futures. Efforts to conduct research that reaches beyond the university include participatory knowledge production, ‘future creating’ workshops and advocacy- and policy-oriented outputs.

SEGES Innovation is a private, independent, non-profit research and development organization and is the leading agricultural knowledge and innovation center in Denmark.

Their primary objective is to identify and develop the commercial possibilities of agriculture in order to provide farmers with the best options for running their businesses more profitably while taking the environment and animal welfare into consideration.

KU-PLEN-Soil is the Soil Fertility and Waste Recycling Research Group at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen. PLEN-soil has long-term research experience within the turnover of organic matter and nutrients in agricultural soils. A focus of the research is on soil carbon sequestration and recycling of nutrients with organic waste and bio-based fertilizers and the evaluation of the impacts of their use on soil quality and the environment. The group has large expertise in a range of methods from lab to field scale, such as gaseous emission measurements and isotope techniques and soil chemical and microbial measurements.

The Department of Agroecology (AU-AGRO) is a department under Technical Sciences at Aarhus University. The majority of the 270 employees are physically located in Foulum. Furthermore, AU-AGRO have employees working at the experimental station in Askov. The Department carries out research related to interactions between climate, soil and plants in agro-ecosystems, hereby contributing to sustainable production through research, consulting and teaching. AU-AGRO has unique research facilities at its disposal, including land for field trials, outdoor lysimeter facilities and laboratories. The Department has strong expertise and facilities for GC measurements of greenhouse gases (CO₂, N₂O, CH₄) and has equipment for analyses of soil biological, chemical and physical properties. AU-AGRO participates in several national and international projects with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture.

AU-Ecoscience has competences within ecotoxicity testing on soil fauna delivered by the Department of Ecoscience, AU.

AU-Environmental Science has strong scientific experience with environmental applied research dealing with environmental and agricultural risk assessment, soil health and biodiversity, both at the community level and at cell-to-cell microbial interaction level. The section of environmental microbiology focuses on soil food webs, environmental risk assessment of microorganisms and chemicals, soil health and general soil biology using NGS and eDNA tools as well as culturing and biochemical assays. AU-ENVS houses several nucleic acid sequencing platforms, quantitative DNA and RNA extraction expertise and bioinformatic capabilities and all necessary equipment for environmental risk assessment in the soil.

Energy Cluster Denmark is the result of the recent simplification of the business support system in Denmark and is now the one cluster organization responsible for connecting the Danish actors in the energy ecosystem (industry, knowledge institutions and public authorities). This is primarily done through joint development projects with participation from both potential customers, leading technology companies and university experts, such as SkyClean. Our total project portfolio is currently 3+ billion DKK and 59 projects. We also arrange innovation related events and match Danish and foreign competences for international development projects.

FBC is a non-profit organization operating within the agri-food value chain. FBC has more than 350 members ranging from small start-ups to some of the largest food producing companies in the world. FBC is a team of 38 specialists with skills within e.g. sustainable production and utilization of bioresources, biorefining, business development and financing. FBC is involved in a number of national and international projects centered around innovation, financing and internationalization within the agriculture, bioresources, energy, environmental technology and food sectors.
