Brenmiller Begins bGen™ ZERO Construction at Tempo’s Beverage Manufacturing Plant

  • Brenmiller expected to break ground on highly anticipated electrification project for Tempo, Heineken-backed beverage manufacturer
  • Brenmiller will replace Tempo’s fossil fuel boilers with 32 MWh bGen™ TES system to deliver sustainable process heat
  • Brenmiller’s bGen™ TES system estimated to mitigate over 6,200 tons of carbon emissions annually and save Tempo an estimated $7.5 million over 15 years by eliminating the use of approximately 2,000 tons of heavy fuel each year

Brenmiller Energy Ltd. ("Brenmiller", "Brenmiller Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BNRG), a leading global provider of thermal energy storage ("TES") solutions to industrial and utility markets, today announced that it has moved into the construction phase of development at Tempo Beverages Ltd.’s (“Tempo”) beverage production plant in Netanya, Israel, with plans to begin on-site assembly by the end of September 2024. Brenmiller is replacing Tempo’s fossil fuel boilers with a 32 MWh bGen™ TES system and will deliver sustainable process heat through an Energy as a Service (EaaS) model. Tempo is partially owned by Heineken International B.V. and is one of Israel’s largest producers and distributors of beverages for brands including Heineken and Pepsi.

Brenmiller’s bGen™ TES system for Tempo will charge using a combination of roof-top solar and ultra-low-cost off-peak grid power. The system is being configured to meet the beverage manufacturer’s precise operational needs and the final system design is expected to be completed by the end of July 2024. Brenmiller has started procuring the necessary components to manufacture Tempo’s bGen™ system and all system manufacturing will be completed at Brenmiller’s TES gigafactory in Dimona, Israel. System assembly is expected to be completed by the end of 2024 and commissioned in May 2025.

“We are pleased to report that our project to replace Tempo’s polluting heavy oil boilers with our bGen™ thermal battery is progressing according to schedule and is on-track to be commissioned less than a year from now,” stated Brenmiller’s Chairman and CEO, Avi Brenmiller. “The food and beverage industry is one of the top global consumers of thermal energy. Our project with Tempo serves as a great model for how our bGen™ TES system can benefit other food and beverage producers, a sector from which we are seeing strong demand.”

Approximately 15% of Brenmiller’s $500 million-plus project pipeline is with food and beverage manufacturers, representing its largest industry vertical by project count. The Company’s Dimona gigafactory has the production capacity to support potential sales of up to $200 million.

About bGen™

bGen™, Brenmiller’s TES system, converts electricity into heat to power sustainable industrial processes at a price that is competitive with natural gas. The bGen™ charges by capturing low-cost electricity from renewables or the grid and stores it in crushed rocks. It then discharges steam, hot water or hot air on demand according to customer requirements. The bGen™ also supports the development of utility-scale renewables by providing critical flexibility and grid-balancing capabilities. bGen™ was named among TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023 in the Green Energy category.
