SmartGrid develops and builds energy storage systems for industrial and mobile applications, based on Lithium Iron Phosphate technology. This material is very safe because it cannot combust itself like other battery types. An additional advantage: iron phosphate is easy to mine and has a long life span, namely at least 8,000 cycles. In contrast: one cycle of the charged 500kWh battery can supply 73 households with electricity for 24 hours.

The modular design allows systems from 100kw to many MWs of power and capacity to be delivered with the same design, philosophy and components. This way SmartGrid can easily build up stock and we have the quality in our own hands. All systems are developed and built together with NieuweWeme, here in Oldenzaal and Hengelo on the Green Box.

Aveleijn facilitates a life full of meaning for people with intellectual disabilities. A life in which you are of significance to others, as a child, partner or citizen. But also a life in which you experience meaning by enjoying everything that life has to offer. Own choices, own strength and own possibilities always form the basis. 

The Industrie Team Europalaan is a work-related day care location of Aveleijn. Here clients perform work for various regional companies. These activities vary from simple packing to multiple assembly work. The clients work in a sheltered space within the business park of 'The Green Box'. This makes them feel part of society and they can get the support they need. 

Aveleijn is a non-profit organization. When deploying clients with an intellectual disability, the interests of this vulnerable group are always central to us.  

Aveleijn is not only committed to healthcare with heart and soul, but also to sustainability. 

For example, many locations already have solar panels and LED lighting. In addition to these technical measures, awareness-raising and education about sustainability is at least as important. This is therefore something Aveleijn is actively working on.

2-B Energy contributes to a more sustainable world by introducing new wind turbine technologies with lower cost of energy produced and less material use. 2BE has introduced an innovative 6MW turbine that is successfully in operation since 2016.

Our 2-bladed turbine technology offers multiple benefits compared to the 3-bladed rotor, such as less material consumption and waste, reduced O&M costs due to the lower number of components and less transportation costs.

Other advantages of the 2-bladed turbine are that the turbine allows for helicopter landing on the nacelle and the lower top weight is beneficial for application with a floater.

Innovation is still in full swing; while the 2B6 turbine is currently up and running, in the upcoming years we will introduce the Advanced Rotor Technology. This technology will provide further LCOE reductions, making them a perfect reflection of our mission and goal.
