- Brenmiller Energy (BNRG, Financial) to begin installation of its bGen™ ZERO thermal energy storage system at Tempo Beverages in May 2025.
- The project aims to eliminate the annual use of 2,000 tons of heavy fuel and reduce carbon emissions by 6,200 tons per year.
- Tempo is expected to save $7.5 million in energy costs over 15 years with the new system.
Brenmiller Energy (BNRG), a leader in thermal energy storage solutions, is advancing its Tempo Beverages project with significant installation milestones scheduled for 2025. The project involves the installation of a 32 MWh bGen™ ZERO thermal energy storage system designed to replace Tempo's fossil fuel boilers, establishing a greener footprint for the beverage producer, which is partly owned by Heineken International.
The company's plan begins with the installation of the base structure by May 12, 2025, followed by base insulation in mid-May, and the initial setup of bCubes™ in late May 2025. The first phase is expected to conclude in early July 2025. The subsequent phase, which includes the final installation of bCubes™ and necessary insulation, is slated for completion by the end of July 2025.
Upon completion, the system is projected to substantially reduce Tempo's heavy fuel dependency, shedding 2,000 tons annually and slashing carbon emissions by 6,200 tons per year. This environmentally friendly initiative is also economically beneficial, as it is expected to save Tempo approximately $7.5 million over 15 years, averaging $500,000 in annual savings.
Final construction is anticipated to be complete by September 2025, with commissioning expected to commence in October 2025. This project underscores the potential for thermal energy storage solutions to address industrial energy needs sustainably and efficiently.
