Tempo Beverages Advances on Thermal Energy Storage Project
Tempo Beverages Ltd. continues to make progress on its thermal energy storage project that will lower carbon emissions.
Brenmiller, a thermal energy storage provider, is set to replace Tempo’s fossil fuel boilers with a 32-MWh bGen™ ZERO TES system.
By enabling the switch from heat derived from fossil fuels to heat derived from electricity, it eliminates the use of approximately 2,000 tons of heavy fuel each year. Brenmiller’s bGen™ is estimated to mitigate over 6,200 tons of carbon emissions annually and save Tempo an estimated $7.5 million over 15 years.
Tempo’s beverage production plant in Netanya, Israel, began the process of adding a thermal energy storage (TES) unit in 2024. 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 announced that it has achieved a major contractual milestone in its TES project for Tempo and a critical financial benchmark representing 40% of Tempo’s financial commitment to the project.
Manufacturing of the company’s bGen™ components will be completed at Brenmiller’s gigafactory and are expected to be shipped onsite for assembly starting mid January 2025. The company remains on track to complete the TES system commissioning for Tempo in 2025.
“Our recent accomplishments underscore our dedication to maintaining rigorous project schedules and our ability to deliver on our promises to stakeholders,” said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy, in a statement. “We are excited to move forward with system assembly at Tempo’s beverage processing facility and remain committed to achieving our ambitious timeline for commissioning in 2025.”
