H2arvester is a circular energy system for a local and/or regional economy: local-for-local & scale-by-scale. Regional employment is leading and is in line with the concept of the 'short-chain': local producers add value to the environment and short chains help to realise the ambitions for a circular system. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the energy transition to sustainable energy and a sustainable economy at a local and regional level, in addition to the large-scale production of energy.
H2arvester is a partnership for research, product development and realisation of movable and autonomous systems for the generation of solar energy and the production, storage and applications of electricity and hydrogen.
H2arvester was founded by L'orèl Consultancy from Groningen and npk design from Leiden. L'orèl Consultancy, npk design and LTO Noord are the inventors of the H2arvester system and have all the qualifications for energy research, technical development, facilitating pilots and outsourcing the production. H2arvester won the RVO competition 'Solar power in agricultural areas' at the end of 2017.
Selected Dutch (and preferably local) agricultural mechanisation companies are engaged for the production, installation and maintenance of the mobile solar systems. For the realisation of the electrical systems, hydrogen production and storage systems, we collaborate with system suppliers and market leaders in these industries.
