The energy landscape is experiencing a generational transformation as industries worldwide seek clean, cost-effective, and reliable power solutions. Brenmiller Energy (NASDAQ: BNRG) is capitalizing on that movement, leveraging years of research and recent system deployments to establish its position as a pioneering thermal energy storage (TES) force. Its technology overcomes the limitations of traditional battery storage while enabling true industrial decarbonization.
The technology is attracting plenty of attention. The company entered 2025 with a commercial pipeline exceeding $500 million, penetrating markets in the USA, Europe, Germany, Israel, and Hungary. While impressive, expect more contracts to accrue. Brenmiller Energy updates indicate that this innovative company is not only scaling its technology but also demonstrating through client implementations that its solutions can redefine how the world approaches the soaring need for additional energy and, as importantly, how it's stored for on-demand use.
The star of the show is Brenmiller Energy’s bGen™ ZERO system, an innovative approach to revolutionizing industrial sustainability initiatives by converting electricity into clean heat, often at a cost competitive with natural gas. However, eliminating price and supply chain uncertainties based on natural gas reliance is just one important part of the system's value proposition.
Equally significant is that by capturing low-cost renewable or grid electricity and storing it in crushed rocks before releasing that energy in a variety of ways on-demand, bGen™ ZEROenhances grid stability and supports the expansion of utility-scale renewables. Those distinctions helped earn the bGen™ ZEROa spot among TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023 in the Green Energy category.
Redefining Energy and How it's Stored
Accolades continue. Last week, Brenmiller announced that its bGen™ ZERO TES system is named as a finalist for the 2025 Edison Best New Products Awards™ in the Energy Storage and Management category. Finalists were chosen by a voting body of peers, including top scientists, engineers, designers, and academics from around the world. No matter the final place on the podium, the recognition itself is a validation of a technology whose end-user deliverables may be the best answer to a global need for clean and sustainable on-demand energy solutions.
That box is checked in stark contrast to traditional lithium-based systems, which often face supply chain issues and maintenance-riddled system degradation. Not Brenmiller's bGen™ ZERO. It utilizes crushed volcanic rock as a heat reservoir, resulting in a limitless and maintenance-free method for energy and the storage thereof. Better still, the system also charges using renewable electricity, which, beyond that benefit, enables thermal energy to be stored at high temperatures for reliable release when needed. The better news:
Brenmiller Is Delivering Value, Not Hoping To
Unlike many, including potential competitor Rondo, who has raised and is expected to spend hundreds of millions to break into the space, Brenmiller's technology isn't in the development stage. Its impact is already being felt across multiple sectors, from manufacturing and food production to healthcare and heavy industry. The company is already delivering on a landmark 32 MWh deployment for beverage giant Tempo, partly owned by Heineken, to replace its massive fossil fuel boilers, expecting to cut over 6,200 tons of CO2 emissions annually and delivering more than $7.5 million in energy savings over 15 years.
Similarly, Brenmiller is deploying a 30 MWh bGen™ ZERO system for Partner in Pet Food Hungaria KFT under a 12-year Heat-as-a-Service (HaaS) agreement. That deal is a further testament to how companies are leveraging Brenmiller's TES solutions to gain a competitive advantage while meeting stringent carbon reduction goals. Perhaps as important from a competitive landscape perspective, these deals demonstrate that Brenmiller's solutions are not in the conceptual stages—they are already reshaping industrial operations in markets that are aggressively ushering change.
Over 50% of its commercial pipeline is rooted in Europe, where industrial decarbonization is a priority. There, Brenmiller has a fast start capitalizing on the accelerating demand for sustainable energy solutions. The recent establishment of Brenmiller Europe S.L., a joint venture with Green Enesys and Viridi, is fuel to accelerate adoption across the continent. And its partnership with Entelios AG in Germany strategically places Brenmiller within the heart of a projected $2.9 billion TES market by 2028. Those aren't the only value drivers.
Beyond Europe, Brenmiller Energy is aggressively expanding its operations footprint in North America through an exclusive distribution agreement with Rock Energy Storage. Over just a few months, this partnership has expanded Brenmiller's commercial pipeline in the U.S. from $150 million to over $210 million, a clear indication of the growing demand for its technology. There's still more to appreciate.
World's First TES Gigafactory
Brenmiller's ability to scale and execute at an industrial level is strengthened after expanding its "world's first" TES gigafactory, capable of producing 4 GWh annually—enough to provide power for over three million homes using an average of 10,000 kWh. While competitors may be concerned about having the resources to provide energy, Brenmiller isn't.
Its partnership with TUTCO Heating Solutions Group, a subsidiary of a £5.6 billion (currently about $6.9 billion USD) industrial technology leader, ensures supply chain resilience and enhances production capabilities to offer seamless integration into Fortune 500 companies and large-scale industrial clients. In other words, clients can be confident that Brenmiller delivers as intended.
That's important to the value proposition. The need for long-duration energy storage has never been more urgent, especially with energy storage needs projected to grow at a 23% CAGR through 2030 and geopolitical factors accelerating many countries' push for energy independence. Don't underestimate that intetion- governments worldwide are increasingly shifting focus toward infrastructure investments and industrial sustainability, recognizing thermal energy and its storage as an integral piece of the evolutionary puzzle.
Unveiling Its bGen™ ZTO to Target $8 Billion Market
That makes the recent unveiling of the bGen™ ZTO system particularly timely. The system, specifically designed to electrify industrial thermal oil applications, is more than another TES sector breakthrough- it targets an $8 billion market opportunity by serving industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and petrochemicals, which have long been dependent on fossil fuel-powered thermal oil heating. Not anymore.
With nearly 100% cycle efficiency and minimal maintenance requirements, the bGen™ ZTO system presents a zero-emissions alternative that significantly reduces energy costs and carbon footprints for industrial customers. Early traction is already evident, with Brenmiller identifying eight commercial projects worth approximately $170 million ahead of the system's commercial rollout in 2026.
The interest isn't surprising. Brenmiller's holistic approach to energy transition is changing the narrative from regulatory policies focused on penalties and quotas to one embracing commercially viable and available alternatives that don't require subsidies to be economically attractive. Brenmiller checks that box through a Heat-as-a-Service business model that allows industrial customers to shift to clean energy without massive capital expenditures. This unique model ensures that sustainability is not a burden but can be a profitable investment.
A Real-Time Provider, Not A Conceptual Dream
Best of all, for stakeholders of all kinds, Brenmiller Energy is not waiting for the future of clean energy; it's helping to build it today with in-the-market solutions that deliver a technological edge that outpaces, outlasts, and outperforms virtually any legacy storage solution.
To only say that Brenmiller Energy is leading the charge into a new era of clean energy on demand is an understatement of fact- this company is demonstrating its leadership position in real-time compared to potential competitors who are still raising and spending hundreds of millions on developing technology that might not even work.
Frankly, no one truly knows if potential competitors will even make it to the starting gate. But know this- if any do, they'll be following Brenmiller Energy, whose commercial pipeline is already spanning continents. In other words, as the world embraces the next generation of energy storage to close the gap between renewable energy production and industrial heat demand, Brenmiller Energy may be the company best positioned to provide the missing link.
