  Green Magnet technology with close to zero electrical power consumption without the need for cooling water saves costs, space and hence spares natural resources. A compact dipole based on permanent magnets has been developed at Danfysik in collaboration with Sintex and Aarhus University. This first Green Magnet has been delivered to ETH Zurich for testing in a compact accelerator mass spectrometer facility. Permanent NdFeB magnets generate a fixed magnetic field of 0.43 T at a gap of 38.5 mm without using electrical power in the H-type 90° bending magnet with a bending radius of 250 mm. Thermal drift of the permanent magnets is passively compensated. Small air cooled trim coils permit fine tuning of the magnetic field. Magnetic field measurements and thermal stability tests show that the Green Magnet fully meets the magnetic requirements of the previously used electromagnet. The use of Green Magnet technology in other accelerator systems like synchrotron light sources is discussed.
