EUDP — Energy Technology Development and Demonstration (Seed)
Runs research teams and institutions for EUDP Energy Technology Development and Demonstration in energy systems, climate technology, and materials science.
The Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme (EUDP) is Denmark's principal public funding instrument for green energy technology research, development, and demonstration. Established in 2007 and administered under the Danish Energy Agency, EUDP has supported more than 1,300 projects with a cumulative DKK 7 billion since inception. In 2025 the programme disbursed DKK 628 million to 81 projects; the active project portfolio carries DKK 2.463 billion in committed grants across 134 live projects. The programme is technology-neutral and evaluates proposals against eight quality criteria covering innovation level, climate policy alignment, commercialisation potential, environmental impact, and project feasibility.
EUDP operates through open calls, typically two per year. The 2026-I call carried a total pool of DKK 443.65 million, comprising a DKK 260 million general technology-neutral pool plus thematic sub-pools: DKK 60 million for electricity storage, DKK 98.9 million for pyrolysis, and DKK 24.75 million for smart energy and digitalisation. A 2026-II call is expected in the second half of 2026, consistent with the programme's established biannual rhythm. Each call window typically runs six to eight weeks; proposals outside the thematic sub-pool focus areas are eligible for the general pool provided they meet the core criteria.
Eligible applicants include companies of all sizes, universities and knowledge institutions, utility companies, and other organisations engaged in green energy technology development. Non-Danish applicants must partner with a Danish entity and apply through the Danish Energy Agency portal using MitID Erhverv credentials. EUDP grants are co-financing instruments — funded projects are expected to demonstrate a credible commercialisation pathway in Danish or international markets and to align with Denmark's legally mandated targets of 70 percent CO₂ reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2045.
Funds development and demonstration of innovative green energy technologies across all technology types, with thematic sub-pools determined per call.
