About us

GreenLab

Home of tomorrow’s green technologies

 We are specialized in accelerating research and technology to scale, and our concept transforms the way green energy is produced, converted, stored and applied. We test theories in practice and look for viable green solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.

We believe that ambitious communities connected by common aspirations can create the POWER SHIFT that is needed to succeed with the green transition.

GENERATE
We generate green, sustainable energy for our industrial park and other partners.

STORE
The green energy is stored in all its forms – power, heat, and electrofuels – which enables us to use it when it is needed.

SHARE
The SymbiosisNet™ is a new concept for an intelligent grid of energy and data. The infrastructure is built to suit the needs of the companies in our green industrial park, as they increasingly share their surplus energy and resources. The SymbiosisNet™ is a replicable system, which will enable global export of the GreenLab platform to other local communities.

A green and circular industrial park
GreenLab is the green industrial park of the future for companies that want to contribute to the green transition.
Here, sustainable energy is generated and supplied to the park’s companies (soon) via a direct connection, and the companies in the park can share their
surplus energy and resources with each other through the SymbiosisNet™ - an intelligent network of energy and data. The GreenLab model demonstrates how different energy sectors can be
integrated in a unique interplay between green hydrogen, industry, and energy infrastructure.

An ambitious global project with local roots
GreenLab is an example of an ambitious global project with a strong local anchorage. Through hard work and persistence, GreenLab has proven
itself as a business case that has benefitted local growth and employment to a very high degree.
Today, GreenLab attracts highly qualified professionals to the area and – in collaboration with external partners – takes on responsibility for the education of the future workforce within renewable energy.
The goal is to replicate GreenLab globally to optimise energy usage and create green growth.

Power-to-X and sector coupling in practice

GreenLab is part of the 100 MW Power-to-X project, GreenHyScale, which aims to accelerate green hydrogen solutions. The facility will be located in GreenLab's industrial park. In May 2023, the first 6 MW PtX test facility arrived, and the project partners will continuously expand the facility. The project comprises a consortium of 11 international partners and is supported with 30 million euros from the European Union. 

GreenLab is also part of the 12 MW Power-to-X project, funded by The Danish Energy Agency. The facility will be located in GreenLab and produce green methanol and use CO2 from the biogas plant also located in GreenLab. 

We execute on circular economy and sector integration

We also work actively with sector coupling – the act of limiting energy waste by storing excess energy from one energy sector in another sector before it is used in a third. Our unique SymbiosisNet™ is circular economy in action. It allows the industries in the cluster to share and monetise their excess resources – whether it's heat, syngas, biomass, or something else – with each other. That makes it possible to ensure an efficient utilisation of renewable energy, even with energy-intensive consumption, and it makes zero waste a real possibility. 

 

 

Technology enabler
We are a market creator for tech- and energy companies looking to explore and capitalise on new industries and Power-to-X technologies.

Green hydrogen infrastructure and offtake is the key to utilizing PtX-production at scale, and we are perfectly positioned to facilitate the making of this market. We contribute to the development of the market for green hydrogen by connecting the value chain stakeholders and helping overcome legal, technical, and political barriers. 

New energy systems mean there will be new value chains, and we always explore new ways to get things done. We find new opportunities for suppliers and off-takers ready to take on new technologies, for example, CCU, repurposing of PtX-surplus heat in district heating, and exploitation of green hydrogen.

We are a technology enabler and mission-driven research facility
We accelerate new technologies to commercial scale and go quickly from theory to reality. That means we reduce time-to-market for viable technologies and provide an
important testbed for some of the world’s best academics concerned with the challenges of the green transition and industrial energy waste. We work with mission-driven research, which is a multi-stakeholder,
boundary-crossing, interdisciplinary approach to so-called wicked problems.

GreenLab Academy
GreenLab collaborates with institutions of higher education as well as commercial partners in the GreenLab Academy. Here, professionals come to upgrade their skillset in some of the most complex areas of expertise within the green transition of industry.

Let’s create
a power shift

GreenLab works to transform the way green energy is produced, converted, stored and put to use.

We know that the world needs a green transition if we are to successfully meet the challenges posed by climate change.

And while we acknowledge and encourage the personal efforts made by individuals to be climate conscious 

consumers, we believe that the most effective way of creating an impact is by working at a system level.

That is why our work is based on a unique public/private partnership model. Our dream is to inspire others all over the world to build business parks based on GreenLab’s concept.
