The LAB ONE unit serves a dual purpose. It is a modern research facility focused on constructing energy clusters, modeling them, and implementing technologies related to hydrogen solutions, various forms of energy storage, and renewable energy sources (RES). Additionally, it develops innovative IT solutions that enhance energy efficiency and the integration of modern technologies through the use of AI.
The second function of LAB ONE is its production activities within the framework of a demonstration energy cluster – the ECM ecosystem. Within this system, users, based on acquired power rights, can produce their own energy and obtain certificates of origin (green certificates).
This unique solution enables the practical application of the concept of sustainable and decentralized energy, supporting the development of local communities and businesses in energy transformation, cost optimization, and profit maximization.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The total production capacity of the unit is 2.4 MW, generated by a photovoltaic farm, vertical wind turbines, and a unique self-sufficient building incorporating BIPV solutions. The generated energy is processed in PEM electrolyzers into green hydrogen, oxygen, and thermal energy, maximizing the profitability of the project.
The cluster also includes a commercial hydrogen refueling and electric vehicle charging station. All processes within the LAB ONE cluster are automated and digitally managed through the e-Vision system and the decentralized ECM DApp energy portfolio.
The available production capacity of the cluster is represented through a series of smart contracts – SDT1 Lab One, enabling the application of the virtual prosumer model (ECM).
LAB ONE is located in Gniewino, northern Poland, covering an area of 30,100 m². The estimated minimum operational lifespan of the installation is 25 years.
A socially significant aspect of the project is its clear impact on the environment. Thanks to its applied technology, LAB ONE is a zero-emission cluster. This means that the energy produced, regardless of its form, does not emit any pollutants into the atmosphere.
TECHNOLOGY
The LAB ONE cluster combines:
• Renewable energy generation (PV, BIPV, vertical wind turbines),
• Hydrogen technologies (PEM electrolysis),
• A wide range of IT solutions, including DLT, AI, and the e-Vision management system.
These elements ensure zero emissions, automation, and optimization of operational processes, as well as security and transparency in settlements.
