The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) becomes a new partner in the Triangle Energy Alliance (TEA). The partnership will strengthen the collaboration between research, education and business with a focus on green transition and future energy systems. This is stated by the Triangle Energy Alliance in a press release.
The membership comes after the university recently initiated a collaboration with the Municipality of Fredericia to further develop Denmark's strongest powerhouse for energy innovation. DTU will, among other things, contribute with research and study activities in collaboration with local companies and stakeholders. The goal is to create more joint projects, more students in companies as well as more business candidates, PhD programs and summer schools in the area.
Professor Henrik Lund Frandsen from DTU will represent the university in TEA. His focus will be in particular on PtX, integration into biomass-fired CHP plants, energy infrastructure and the development of so-called dual-use fuels. DTU also points out that the collaboration should, among other things, support the development of flexible energy systems and sector coupling between renewable energy, fuels and existing energy plants.
- I know TEA's work from several occasions, and we will also collaborate in the "ReCycle" project with BWE, the Danish Technological Institute and several good forces. Here we are investigating precisely these couplings between existing large-scale energy plants and also the possibilities for new ones such as CO2 infrastructure. My hope is that we can work together on something similar in Fredericia in the long term, says Henrik Lund Frandsen.
Special prerequisites in the Triangle Area
According to TEA, Fredericia and the Triangle Area have special prerequisites for developing large-scale energy projects, because the area brings together central infrastructures within both energy, transport, data centers and digitalization.
- Fredericia's geographical location in the country and strong energy and supply infrastructure make the city an advantageous logistical hub. The Triangle area, with its focus on Fredericia, is Denmark's largest crossroads for infrastructures for both energy and transport. Therefore, in the middle of Denmark, we have an important strategic role in ensuring Denmark's security of supply for green fuels, national goals for energy transition, business development and efficiency with data, says Søren Schmidt Thomsen, director of Triangle Energy Alliance.
TEA also highlights that companies in the area are experiencing an increasing need for highly skilled labor and continuing education in line with developments within green transition, PtX and Carbon to X.
According to the organization, the Triangle area accounts for more than 40 percent of Denmark's industrial production, and investments in education and skills development in the area should therefore also strengthen Denmark's overall competitiveness and security of supply.
DTU's presence in Fredericia is part of the university's ambition to enable students and researchers to participate in teaching, research and innovation activities throughout the country. At the same time, the collaboration will give companies access to specialized knowledge about energy systems and green technology in both theory and practice.
