The Green Generator

The green generator aims to test and demonstrate a sustainable, green, and efficient substitute for diesel generators as well as green battery solutions.

The solution is based on further innovation of the HTPEM (High Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell solution into a system that matches the performance of a traditional diesel generator but with a significant reduction in pollution.

The system, which can be integrated into smaller units or as a container solution, runs on green methanol, thus becoming a flexible, sustainable solution with many applications. In terms of operation, the solution is additionally easy to manage and logistics-friendly compared to, for example, a 100% battery solution, and it will not need to be moved ad hoc for charging, as it has an integrated tank.

Why is the green generator unique?

It is

Efficient

The green generator is efficient and has an intelligent control, ensuring minimal energy loss and minimal service requirements, and the operating cost is low.

It is

Noise free

The green generator is an ideal solution for construction sites and events where the noise level needs to be as low as possible.

It is

Logistics-friendly

The solution is all-in-one: it is compact, portable, and easy to operate and service. It can be installed in under half an hour and is transportable on a trailer. Additionally, with remote service and everything integrated into the same solution.

It is

Green

The green generator uses (bio)methanol to achieve an immediate 80% reduction in CO2 emissions. Switching to blue methanol offers a cheaper alternative while green methanol approaches net-zero CO2 emissions.

About the project

The innovation project “Deployable Green Power Solution” aims to test and demonstrate a sustainable, green, and efficient substitute for diesel generators as well as green battery solutions. It is based on the further innovation of well-known technology from North Jutland’s Advent’s commercial HTPEM (High Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cell solution into a system that matches the performance of a traditional diesel generator, but with a significant reduction in pollution. The system, which can be integrated into smaller units or as a container solution, runs on green methanol, thus becoming a flexible, sustainable solution with many applications. In terms of operation, the solution is additionally easy to manage and logistics-friendly compared to, for example, a 100% battery solution, which would not need to be moved ad hoc in connection with recharging, but instead has an integrated tank.

“The innovation project has great potential. The wide range of applications, such as cultural events and construction sites, provides a high potential and an energy technology with a scalable solution.”

Partners

The project brings together partners from across the entire value chain, including development, production, and recipients, and runs until 2026 as part of the North Jutland business beacon, CO2Vision.

The Project partners are: Advent Technologies A/S, Elektro Gruppen A/S, Aalborg Events and Hydrogen Valley.

The project is co-financed by React-EU funds and is part of the North Jutland business beacon, CO2Vision which is supported by Danmarks Erhvervsfremmebestyrelse with funds from the EU’s Regional Development Fund.
