The Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme (EUDP) is Denmark's primary public programme for funding development and demonstration of innovative green energy technologies. Administered by the Danish Energy Agency under the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Utilities, EUDP has supported more than 1,300 projects with a cumulative DKK 7 billion since its founding in 2007 and disbursed DKK 628 million to 81 projects in 2025 alone. EUDP 2026-I was the programme's first call of 2026, with a total available budget of DKK 443.65 million across four pools: the general technology-neutral pool (DKK 260 million), an electricity storage sub-pool (DKK 60 million), a pyrolysis sub-pool (DKK 98.9 million), and a smart energy and digitisation sub-pool (DKK 24.75 million).

Eligible applicants include SMEs, large companies, knowledge institutions such as universities, utility companies, and other organisations working with green energy technologies. Non-Danish applicants must apply through a Danish entity partner. Applications are submitted via the Danish Energy Agency's grant portal using MitID Erhverv — private MitID credentials are not accepted. EUDP is explicitly technology-neutral: applications outside the stated focus areas are not disqualified if they meet quality criteria. The 2026-I submission deadline was 25 February 2026 at 12:00 CET; this call is now closed.

EUDP evaluates proposals against eight published criteria including innovation level, alignment with Danish climate policy goals (70% CO₂ reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2045), and commercialisation potential. There is no published per-project award cap; individual award sizes depend on project scope and are negotiated during evaluation. The programme runs a second annual call (EUDP 2026-II) which interested applicants should monitor on the EUDP website. Contact for the secretariat is Claus Meineche at clme@ens.dk.
