The current technologies that can address thermal decarbonization is limited. Even more limited is long duration Thermal Energy Storage (TES). Key considerations include: - How to effectively store thermal energy for long time periods, with minimal losses. - The source of energy to introduce heat to thermal storage system. - Typical operating schedule of industrial thermal processes. - These industrial are often located in economically disadvantaged areas. Large-scale renewable projects, when paired with energy storage, will provide a range of benefits including: - Clean and Green Electricity to the grid. - Ability to store energy when grid loads are lowest (off-peak hours). - Peak load sharing. - Decreased grid congestion. - Source of energy that can be converted to thermal energy for industrial thermal processes. The Brenmiller System will facilitate full optimization and production use from any source of grid or renewable electricity (Wind, PV Solar). - Maximize the utilization and availability of renewable generation to provide thermal energy without using fossil fuels. - Since the units also store thermal energy, it can be charged during off-peaks hours when electricity prices are lowest. - Can support peak demand reduction by charging during off hours and used during peak hours. - Enable end-users to build the required energy storage capacity in different sizes and capacities due to modular design. - System is capable of generating up to 275 psi steam or high-temperature hot water while effectively storing thermal for days/weeks with nominal losses. To date there has not been any significant adoption of electric steam generation. The reason is the cost of steam generated via natural gas or oil is typically much cheaper than electric heat & steam. The upcoming installation of large-scale renewable generation, including offshore wind, is a genuine-game changer to create "Green Steam". - How does green thermal energy support the State's clean energy agenda and goals? - Are there any specific geographies where clean thermal energy would support regional goals? - Are there any state agencies or groups interested in technology options that can be used synergistically? For example, pairing battery storage with thermal storage to optimize the value and societal contribution from offshore wind assets and other renewables. - Support Time of Use (TOU) and other load shaving programs. Historically communities with prevalent industrial base are often in economically disadvantaged communities. By electrifying and decarbonizing industrial thermal processes, these will be tangible societal benefits for these communities. It will measurably improve local air quality in these regions. It will also help promote job creation in these areas while supporting the State's decarbonization goals. Although there is no single approach or technology that will, on its own, achieve either National or individual State’s decarbonization goals. The Brenmiller Thermal Energy Storage (TES) can be one of numerous technologies in a “portfolio approach” to this end. Decarbonizing industrial thermal processes is a universal challenge, and the Brenmiller system provides an efficient & eco-friendly solution that combines thermal energy storage with flexible performance.
