Funding Details
- Funder
- Miljøstyrelsen (Danish EPA) – MUDP
- Funding Goal
- Support the development, testing, and demonstration of new environmental technologies in Denmark, including waste management, recycling, pollution treatment, circular economy innovations, and environmental monitoring. Grants cover four types: pre-projects (feasibility studies for SMEs), ETV verification (environmental technology verification for SMEs), development/test/demonstration projects, and flagship projects (full-scale demonstration of new environmental solutions). The programme targets technologies that go beyond existing Danish and EU standards and that involve all relevant parts of the value chain.
- Funding Amount
- Approximately DKK 130 million (approx. EUR 17.5 million) available for projects in 2026. Distributed across four project categories. ETV and pre-projects granted under EU de minimis regulation. Development/demonstration and flagship projects under EU general block exemption regulation.

Summary
MUDP (Environmental Technology Development and Demonstration Programme) is an annual Danish government grant scheme administered by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency (Miljøstyrelsen). The programme funds the development, testing, verification, and demonstration of new environmental technologies in Denmark. The overarching objective is to advance environmental solutions beyond current Danish and EU regulatory standards and to support the commercial viability of Danish environmental technology innovations. Thematic scope covers all areas of environmental technology: waste management and recycling, circular economy innovations, water and soil pollution remediation, air quality, noise reduction, and environmental monitoring. Projects dealing with plastic waste treatment, recycling technology upgrades, waste-to-product systems, and circular material flows are explicitly within scope. The programme places emphasis on full value-chain involvement, particularly for flagship projects, to ensure technologies are viable and scalable. Eligible activities include feasibility studies (pre-projects, for SMEs only), environmental technology verification (ETV, for SMEs only), development and test/demonstration projects (for companies and research institutions), and full-scale flagship demonstration projects. Flagship projects must demonstrate new environmental technological solutions at full scale and serve as a showcase for Danish environmental technology globally. Geographic scope is Denmark. Projects must be conducted in Denmark, though the technologies developed may be exported internationally. There are no secondary region requirements, though international deployment may be mentioned as an objective. Eligible applicants depend on project type: pre-projects and ETV are restricted to SMEs; development/demonstration and flagship projects are open to companies, research institutions, and consortia. Flagship projects specifically require participation of all relevant value chain actors. Non-profit organisations and membership associations are not explicitly listed but may participate as consortium partners. Budget for 2026: approximately DKK 130 million (approximately EUR 17.5 million) total across all project categories. Grants under EU de minimis regulation (pre-projects, ETV) and EU general block exemption regulation (development, demonstration, flagship). No explicit co-funding rates stated on the main page, but project-specific guidance documents detail this. Flagship projects typically require substantial co-funding from industry partners.
Historical Context
MUDP (Miljøteknologisk Udviklings- og Demonstrationsprogram) is an annual Danish programme managed by the Danish EPA (Miljøstyrelsen). Application rounds are published annually, typically in February with deadlines in late March or April. The 2026 round has approximately DKK 130 million available. MUDP has published grant lists for previous rounds and maintains a project results database. An information meeting was held on 2 March 2026.
