My job is then to say: "Fine but what can we use it for?" We have to keep that aspect in mind all the time. the borderline between research and practical application is where things happen." Lars Udby, director, Cemtec concerning meeting sessions with the two major companies at Cemtec; Dantherm Power and Serenergy Y ou aren't in the company of Lars Udby very long before you hear his favourite mantra: "We create workplaces. That is what we are here for, first and foremost. The fact that it also produces some useful spin-offs in the form of eco-friendly products and a great store of knowledge is a bonus which makes us pleased and proud. But we are not here to save the world," says Lars Udby, who is the director of Cemtec, the Centre for Energy and Materials Technology located in Hobro in northern part of Denmark. Lest you haven't heard, he repeats it: "We are very aware of the fact that we cannot live by knowledge alone. You can only live of knowledge when it has been translated into services or products that can be sold." So far, so good we have clearly understood the aim of the research and production efforts in high-temperature fuel cell technology taking place in North Jutland under the slightly awkward name of "HeatPhase 2". HEAT stands for Hydrogen Economy and Applied Technology centre. hot hydRogen Here, in the middle of a roundabout in a scenic, hilly landscape near Hobro, Cemtec is the centre responsible for focusing on and providing support for targeted efforts to find a technological niche. "It's a long way to the nearest university, and we have problems attracting graduates. We took a look at Ringkøbing, located in western Denmark, and saw what they were doing in wind turbine technology. They were specialising, so we decided to do that, too. Our choice fell on hydrogen and high-temperature fuel cell technology," says Lars Udby. It was more or less by chance that Cemtec chose hydrogen but it is far from accidental that their partner, Aalborg University, is working with the same element. Aalborg University has been conducting intensive research into hydrogen and fuel cells for the past decade efforts which have so far borne fruit in many different respects, both at the university and at Cemtec. They have for example managed to transform uncleaned biogas into hydrogen, demonstrated fuel cells for aircraft in Germany, and have got an electric car to run on hydrogen and fuel cells. Many of these results have been produced through co-operation between the university world and the companies at Cemtec. Professor Søren Knudsen Kær is head of the research programme into fuel cell systems at Aalborg University and co-ordinator of the North Jutland Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Centre (H2FC), and he is enthusiastic about collaboration between scientists and the business community: "The sparring is valuable for both parties. Attempts to solve the problems of companies often produce interesting educational situations. And we can offer new knowledge, which these companies can then apply in a context that we had not foreseen. It all produces excellent dynamics," he says, adding: "In the absence of Cemtec, we would have had no cluster effect the concentration of knowledge and companies which makes this area interesting for us. Furthermore, without Cemtec, we probably would have had little reason to drive to Hobro." 60 woRkplaCes And the aim to create workplaces has also been achieved. Today, Cemtec houses the companies Serenergy and Dantherm Power, which employ 60 people between them, mainly engineers. The two companies originated in Støvring and Skive respectively both towns are located in the region - but have moved in together to pursue joint efforts. Serenergy makes fuel cells, while Dantherm Power uses these cells in the systems it creates: "We cooperate a lot, and there is a great mutual exchange of ideas," says Peder Rasmussen, civil engineer and test manager with Serenergy. "When we are here together, we can make use of our common skills in joint projects and knowledge sharing. There are many advantages for us in that." a common process the two projects, heatphase 2 and the north Jutland hydrogen and Fuel cell centre, were founded in 2007 with funding provided by the north Jutland growth Forum, as a conscious investment in hydrogen and fuel cell technology in north Jutland. the projects also recently received a total of just under eur 2.5 million in support from the european regional Development Fund for their activities, which makes them the biggest investments of the north Jutland growth Forum in the area of energy. together, the two initiatives cover the entire field from industrial research and development to demonstration and commercialisation. the project helps to spotlight north Jutland as one of Denmark's leading centres of hydrogen and fuel cell technology. 31 <a title="Danske Regioner -
