We helped Port of Aarhus to explore opportunities for better utilizing excess energy and resource flows among the companies at the harbor. Our role has been to create insights, identify and brainstorm on potentials, and develop hypotheses based on these findings.

Additionally, We contributed to identifying key stakeholders, fostering engagement, and demonstrating progress.​

Regarding the collaboration, Anne Zachariassen, Operations Director at Port of Aarhus, stated: "GreenLab Advisory played a crucial role as the facilitator, seeing the bigger picture and, with high professionalism and business acumen, challenging the conventional thinking of the companies involved in the project as well as the steering committee."​

She further stated: "They contributed with a great deal of curiosity and enthusiasm, which has been crucial for the process and progress. They have been curious about both large and small symbiotic potentials to be able to present the breadth of opportunities, and their ability to see opportunities rather than limitations has had a contagious effect on the process. We were very pleased with the collaboration."

Port of Aarhus, owned by Aarhus Municipality, is the largest commercial and container port in Denmark, home to approximately 150 companies. The harbor has an ambitious goal of becoming the Baltic Sea region's most sustainable commercial port.

Kredsløb spearheaded the second phase of the Port of Aarhus project. This phase focused on a specific idea from the initial concept catalog: exploring the potential for a high-temperature heat network among existing tenants.

Our contribution was technical concept development and a financial feasibility study. By analyzing the existing infrastructure and identifying potential synergies, we helped to create a plausible solution. This involved a comprehensive assessment of the technical requirements, cost implications, and regulatory considerations.

Through our collaborative approach, we successfully navigated the challenges and developed a business case for the high-temperature heat network. This project exemplifies the power of innovation and partnership.

Lasse Sørensen, Head of business development at Kredsløb says:

“Greenlab Advisory contributed with invaluable insights and an overarching perspective to the concept development phase, playing a pivotal role in shaping a sustainable business plan. Their holistic approach and inquisitive nature have been instrumental in challenging our thinking and inspiring new ideas. It has been a valuable experience for our team."

Kredsløb is a pioneering district heating and resource management company, transforming Aarhus into a sustainable city. By optimizing energy use, integrating renewable energy sources, and embracing circular economy principles, Kredsløb aims to create a more efficient and sustainable district heating system.

GreenLab Skive is a visionary industrial Green cluster aimed at creating an industrial park primarily powered by directly connected renewable energy generation.

The industry park seeks to showcase a pathway to industrial decarbonization and serve as a model for accelerating the rollout of renewable energy generation. At the same time, GreenLab aims to contribute to the stability of the power grids, provide societal benefits, and foster local growth.

During GreenLab’s first years, Anders served as CTO and Jakob as Head of Business Development, and was part of all elements, from building the concept and business cases to engaging stakeholders and providing technology evaluation, and later we have used Jakob and Anders for consultancy.

Thomas Helsgaun, CEO of GreenLab Skive, says the following about Hebsgaard | Larsen: " Jakob and Anders have been strong sparring partners for me and for the leadership team i GreenLab. Their knowledge have been crucial to building GreenLab, and their strategic guidance has been valuable."

During our time at GreenLab, We were directly involved in delivering skills and knowledge to several other projects in Denmark and abroad, where sector integration, PtX, industrial heat supply, and industrial symbiosis also have been key topics in the deliverables. This work has been spun out and continued in Hebsgaard | Larsen where we are proud to continue a strong collaboration with GreenLab.

Center for Sustainable Infrastructure (CSI) has been organizing inspirational tours to Denmark for politicians, legislators, local development organizations and top corporate management, in order to inspire them with the world leading infrastructure innovations and industrial symbiosis projects there.

CSI has been been a regular visitor to Greenlab, with large groups, where the concept developed there has been presented, both in terms of the technical innovations as well as the methods and processes applied to have achieved the success and global awareness it has.

GreenLab Advisory was asked to help 2 sites in Washington State, USA by organizing inspirational workshops, where the GreenLab development was showcased, as well as overview of necessary stakeholder interests and strategic guidance. All to inspire the local community and industry to mobilize a project to develop and harness the advantages in industrial symbiosis.

Rhys Roth, Executive Director of CSI says "GreenLab Advisory has been a tremendous inspiration for our partner organizations, and Jakob and Anders guidance and insights have been instrumental in helping leaders in the communities to understand the potentials for industrial synergies and to take the initiative." 

Follow up visits are being planned to take the projects one step further in maturation.
