In 2025, the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme (EUDP) has awarded 628 million kroner to 81 innovative projects that will strengthen Denmark's green transition, competitiveness and security of supply.
This is stated in EUDP's annual report for 2025, in which you can also learn more about how the year's funds are distributed.
Every year, the programme supports both companies and universities in the development and demonstration of new energy technologies. EUDP is technology-neutral and therefore covers a wide range - from energy efficiency and system integration to biomass and solar and wind energy.
Among the projects supported in 2025 are, among others: a geothermal system for district heating production, an intelligent drone system for repairing offshore wind turbine blades and aesthetic energy-generating roofs.
"When I look back on 2025, I see a year in which the importance of energy technology has become even clearer – and where the need for targeted, long-term and ambitious support for innovation is clear," writes Kim Lehmann, chair of the EUDP board.
Here's how the 81 projects are distributed
- 35 EUDP projects have received a total of DKK 478 million.
- Three projects have received a total of DKK 25 million under the new special fund Smart Energy and Digitalisation, which focuses on digitalisation and increased data use in the energy sector.
- One project has received DKK 50 million from the new fund for pyrolysis projects.
- Three projects have received a total of 23 million kroner from the North Sea Fund, which aims to reduce the environmental footprint of the oil and gas industry.
- 35 IEA collaborations (projects under the International Energy Agency) have received a total of 34 million kroner.
- Four international projects under the CETPartnership have received a total of 18 million kroner.

The annual report also highlights that EUDP continues to play a central role in bringing ideas from the drawing board to reality. For example, one of the completed EUDP projects has developed an innovative offshore charging solution that makes it possible to supply ships with green electricity while they are at anchor.
Since 2007, the program has awarded 7.3 billion kroner. DKK for over 1,400 projects, the majority of which have been completed and are creating green effects both nationally and internationally.
"The core elements of EUDP's work remain the same - and perhaps more important than ever before. Green transition, new energy technologies and energy efficiency form the backbone of the effort. But without innovation, there is no movement. Innovation that dares to challenge the known, and that can translate ideas into solutions that work in practice and in the market. This is precisely where EUDP plays a central role - in the tension between idea and reality, through development and demonstration," writes Kim Lehmann in the annual report.
