A green and circular industrial park

GreenLab is a green and circular industrial park located in Skive, Denmark. We believe that the energy system of the future is an integrated energy system – and we work to develop and demonstrate this in practice by improving the way renewable energy is produced, transformed, stored, and utilised.

We accelerate the green transition of industry through large-scale testing of new technologies, direct connection of industrial production to renewable energy, and mission-driven research.

Let’s create a power shift!

INTEGRATE
We believe tomorrow’s energy system must be a sector integrated energy system that reduces energy waste in industry.

DEMONSTRATE
We demonstrate how the energy system of the future can be built by showing how energy can be generated, stored, and shared in new ways

ACCELERATE
We accelerate the green transition of industry through research, large-scale testing, and direct connection of industrial production and renewable energy

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 of industry.

Here, renewable energy is generated, stored and soon shared with the companies located in GreenLab’s industrial area via a direct connection to the 84 MW wind and solar park just south of GreenLab.

In the industrial park, companies can share their surplus energy and resources with each other through the SymbiosisNet™ - an intelligent network of energy and data.

The GreenLab model seeks to create the energy system of tomorrow and demonstrates how different energy sectors can be integrated in a unique interplay between different energy forms, industry, and internal energy infrastructure.

Global ambitions with local roots
Our goal is to create a green and integrated industrial cluster that reduces energy waste and serves as a model for other rural areas around the world to enable green growth.

However, our local anchorage is strong and very important to us. We want to contribute positively to our local community, and we are proud to have benefitted local growth and employment and to take part in the education of the future workforce within renewable energy.

The future is integrated and circular
At GreenLab, we work actively with sector integration – the act of limiting energy waste by increasing the energy utilisation and combining multiple energy sources across different energy sectors. Our unique SymbiosisNet™ is circular economy in action. It allows the industries located in GreenLab 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.

Power-to-X is a component in an integrated energy system
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 work to expand the facility. The first receiver of hydrogen will be the Starfish Factory located in GreenLab.

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

Paving the way for new markets and technologies
New energy technologies and energy systems are worth nothing if they are not supported by new market structures. Markets that connect new suppliers with new buyers through new value chains with new incentives for green products.

As a green solutions facilitator, we are in a unique position to support new market structures and business models, and we do so by taking a systemic approach and orchestrating multiple stakeholders.

We are a mission-driven research facility
At GreenLab, we work with mission-driven research. It is characterised by having ambitious and measurable targets, by wanting to solve big and difficult challenges, and by being a multi-stakeholder, boundary-crossing, interdisciplinary approach to so-called wicked problems. Our focus is on problems connected to the green transition and the unnecessary waste of energy and resources in industrial processes.

We help educate tomorrows workforce through our Academy

We want to share our knowledge and experiences to help upskill the workforce of tomorrow, and the GreenLab Academy does just that.

Our offering comprises cutting-edge technical courses and operational business courses that are all deeply rooted in GreenLab's real-world experience with sustainable transformation.

Let’s create a power shift

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

The world needs a green transition if we are to successfully meet the challenges posed by climate change. We believe that the energy system of the future is an integrated energy system, and we work to develop and demonstrate this in practice by improving the way renewable energy is produced, transformed, stored, and utilized

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 green and circular industrial clusters based on GreenLab’s concept.
