TotalEnergies, Danish research institute to establish wind/clean energy facility

Offshore staff

PARIS, France – TotalEnergies and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) will jointly create a new research facility, the DTU-TotalEnergies Excellence Center of Clean Energy.

Its focus will be on developing reliable, low-emission energy solutions to reduce the intermittence of renewable energy and speed up de-carbonization of industrial sites.

The new center will be housed on the premises of the DTU at the Risø campus, west of Copenhagen. According to TotalEnergies, the DTU is recognized for its research into offshore wind energy.

The center will have three main areas of focus:

* Construction of a next-generation hybrid electric platform: a pilot scheme at the Risø power plant will test different systems for optimizing production of wind energy with battery storage systems and the production of green hydrogen, with the results used for research programs.

* Multi-energy training for TotalEnergies employees, including online `masterclasses’ and specially designed courses on electricity and clean energy.

* Research partnerships: TotalEnergies' researchers and engineers will work with the DTU's teaching staff, researchers and students on rograms for the joint development of solutions including next-generation wind technologies and floating wind farms.
