Our new Power-to-X facility dedicated to test, research and education is being delivered today!     This is a major milestone for our GreenLab Academy and our Research platform, and we can't wait to create a real-life and large-scale demonstration platform for companies, universities, and other educational institutions.    Our site partner Green Hydrogen Systems is helping us transport and move the 0,5 MW electrolyser module that will be located next to the current 6M Power-to-X test site in GreenLab.    And we are already in dialogue with many institutions who want to come and use our research and education facility in their programmes and courses.     We expect to have the facility fully installed and operational next year, but we are already open for visits at the end of 2024.     #letscreateapowershift #GreenLab #greencompetencies 

Breaking news! We are now ready to replace natural gas with green heat at an unprecedented scale 🔥 ♻️ We are thrilled to announce that we have just invested in a 100MWh heat battery🔋from Rondo Energy – the first of its kind in a fully commercial project. The heat battery will be directly connected to the renewable energy park just south of GreenLab, which means green power will charge the battery when green energy production is high, and the companies in our industrial park can use the stored energy when energy production is low 👏 👏  That is great news for the green transition of industry, where 74% of energy use is tied to heat. On a global level, serving industrial heat with renewables and heat batteries can cut annual CO2-emissions drastically, and we are very happy to pioneer the solution in our park The news was made official at the Breakthrough Energy Summit yesterday, and we are proud that Rondo Energy and Breakthrough Energy chose GreenLab as their European showcase 🏆   Learn more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/dxKVfc2Q #letscreateapowershift #greenindustry #greenlab #rondoenergy #breakthroughenergy

Ahoy!⚓ At this year's summer party, we traded in our suits, hard hats, and yellow vests for wind in our hair and sun in our faces. ☀️ We set sail on the magnificent ship, Maja and spent the day on the water overlooking the beautiful Limfjord ⛵ Thank you to all of Team GreenLab for a great afternoon! #TeamGreenLab #SummerParty #wecreatetogether #westicktogether

We are beyond excited today! 👇 The Villum Fonden has granted ⭐ 25 million DKK ⭐ to contintue our research platform and expand our collaboration with DTU - Technical University of Denmark and the other Danish universities. The grant aims to accelerate the green transition of industry both in Denmark and internationally 🏭 ♻️ This time it is with a special focus on Power-to-X and the interaction between energy, carbon, and water.   We think Thomas Bjørnholm, Research Director at The Villum Foundation, puts it beautifully when he says: “Think of GreenLab as an ‘energy island on land,’ organised as a cooperative and managed as a free port, where everything produced can be freely exchanged among the companies in the energy ecosystem. It has enormous potential for developing new knowledge to support the green transition, both in Denmark and internationally” 🏝️ ♻️ Learn more about the grant and the research collaboration here: https://lnkd.in/dPWGcjij #letscreateapowershift #missiondrivenreseach #greentransition Aarhus Universitet Aalborg Universitet Syddansk Universitet - University of Southern Denmark

We measure success by the number of yellow coats, cables and construction machinery in our park👇👀  That is why it is fantastic to see the progress Elnetselskabet N1 and local entrepreneur KAJ OVE MADSEN A/S have made on the upcoming transformer station in GreenLab.      The first part of the transformer station will be ready by the end of the year, and it is an essential part of our green infrastructure – it will be directly connected to the 84MW solar and wind park south of GreenLab, which means we can connect energy production to energy consumption without negatively impacting the collective energy grid.   Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to drive the green energy transition forward!  Learn more about the project here: https://lnkd.in/djk-Dgcx #letscreateapowershift #GreenLab #greentransitioninaction  

Hvorfor er industriklynger vigtige for den grønne omstilling og hvad har det med energiøer at gøre? I går deltog vores CEO, Christopher Sorensen i en paneldebat om "Energiøer på land" arrangeret af Biogas Danmark.   Tak for en spændende diskussion til Daniel Ulf Pedersen og Bertel Maigaard om hvordan fremtidens energiøer skal se ud, hvorfor de skal være på land og hvilke investeringer, det vil kræve.   I GreenLab er vores mål bl.a. at reducere behovet for investeringer i elnettet ved at placere produktionen af vedvarende energi tæt på de industrier, der har brug for energien. Virksomhederne i GreenLab kan dermed aftage strømmen direkte og anvende den i deres produktion. Samtidig kan strøm omdannes til varme (vand/damp), som kan bruges til i industriproduktion, ligesom overskudsvarme fra virksomhederne kan cirkuleres i et internt ”fjernvarmenet” inden for industriparken.   Tak til Biogas Danmark for invitationen og for at facilitere en spændende debat. #letscreateapowershift #GreenLab #Folemødet2024

Vi glæder os til et par inspirerende dage og til at møde en masse spændende mennesker!  👉 Ræk endelig ud til os for gode snakke om grønne industriklynger, Power-to-X, missionsdrevet forskning og udviklingen af fremtidens energisystem. Vi ses! ☀️👏 hashtag#Folkemødet2023 hashtag#letscreateapowershift hashtag#GreenLab

Energinets langsigtede udviklingsplan for Danmarks energinet er nu under behandling👀 Planen skitserer den forventede udvikling af transmissionssystemerne for el, gas og brint. De beslutninger, der træffes nu, bliver afgørende for Danmarks position som frontløber inden for grøn energi. Derfor indgav vi i sidste uge et høringssvar med nogle vigtige opmærksomhedspunkter. Vi vil nemlig gerne være med til at sikre, at vores samfund opnår den størst mulige effekt af vedvarende energiproduktion og investeringerne i netinfrastrukturen. I GreenLab er vi allerede godt i gang med at demonstrere en model for balancering af det kollektive elnet: Ved at samplacere vedvarende energiproduktion og industriparker (energiforbrug) reduceres behovet for udbygning af elnettet. Virksomhederne i GreenLab kan aftage strømmen og bruge den direkte i produktionen. Samtidig kan energien konverteres og lagres, hvilket optimerer ressourcerne i en industriel symbiose. Når forskellige aftagemuligheder spiller sammen, udnyttes strømmen optimalt. Den mulighed håber vi, at Energinet griber og tager højde for i det videre arbejde med udviklingsplanen. Hvis der primært fokuseres på direkte linjer til PtX-produktion med henblik på eksport, går man glip af mulighederne for, at flere virksomheder og interessenter kan bidrage til og få gavn af den grønne omstilling. Ved strategisk at sammenkoble planlægningen af den langsigtede net-infrastruktur med kommunernes (KL) og statens (By-, Land- og Kirkeministeriet) planlægning af erhvervsudvikling kan der opnås mange synergier og skabes grøn vækst lokalt.
