Brenmiller Energy Targets Industrial Decarbonization with Thermal Energy Storage and New Service Model
Industrial heat generation accounts for approximately 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, surpassing the combined pollution from all cars, planes and ships worldwide. Yet efforts to decarbonize sectors like steel, cement and glass production have largely overlooked this major emissions source, according to Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ: BNRG), an Israel-based thermal energy storage (TES) provider seeking to fill that gap.
The conventional approach to greening industrial heat involves electrification, but that faces hurdles including grid capacity limits, high electricity costs and difficulty achieving ultra-high temperatures consistently. Meanwhile, burning fossil fuels like coal and natural gas remains common but increasingly conflicts with corporate and government decarbonization targets.
Brenmiller Energy offers an alternative through its patented bGen TES platform, a solid-state heat battery that uses crushed volcanic rock to store low-cost renewable electricity as high-temperature heat. The system releases this energy on demand as zero-emission steam, hot water or air, enabling industrial customers to access reliable, high-temperature heat around the clock without relying on critical battery metals.
To address the upfront cost barrier that often deters adoption of clean energy technologies, Brenmiller recently launched BNRG360, an energy-as-a-service model. Under this arrangement, Brenmiller develops, owns and operates the integrated clean energy systems, allowing customers to adopt TES without significant capital investment. The company says BNRG360 represents a strategic evolution from equipment supplier to integrated energy infrastructure company, generating recurring revenues through long-term service agreements while providing customers with a single accountable partner.
This shift could reshape how investors evaluate Brenmiller as its installed base of operating projects grows. The global TES market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10% through 2032, reaching nearly $14 billion, driven by rising electricity consumption, industrial electrification, grid modernization, renewable energy penetration and growing attention to energy security. Additionally, expanding artificial intelligence and data center infrastructure is placing new demands on electrical infrastructure, increasing the need for flexible energy systems.
Brenmiller is already demonstrating its technology at commercial scale in partnership with Tempo Beverages Ltd. The 32-megawatt-hour TES installation at Tempo is designed to fully replace the site’s fossil fuel boiler-based heat production with continuous industrial process steam. The system began delivering steam power in June and is expected to eliminate approximately 6,200 tons of CO₂ emissions annually. Brenmiller says the Tempo project, representing over 15 years of technology development, will serve as a blueprint for future industrial decarbonization deployments worldwide, with performance data strengthening customer confidence and supporting scalability.
Beyond Tempo, Brenmiller reports it is in discussions with other companies about decarbonization projects. Looking ahead, the company is focused on growth, boosting cash flow and achieving sustainable profitability as more customers adopt the BNRG360 platform.
