Summary
Doron Brenmiller, co-founder of Brenmiller Energy, knows all about the useful things hot rocks can do.
Over the past 12 years, the Israel-based manufacturer of thermal energy storage systems has evolved from producing heat batteries for a specific purpose — solar-thermal power plants — to heat batteries for a much wider range of applications.
Brenmiller Energy’s bGen systems, which use crushed rock as an energy-storage medium, are now being deployed to turn cheap electricity into heat for hospitals and food and beverage processing plants. They’re boosting the efficiency of cogeneration plants that produce electricity and heat at college campus buildings. And they’re being installed to store excess heat from the steam driving fossil-gas-fired power plants to help them more efficiently balance the ups and downs of increasingly renewable-powered grids.
