A new thermal energy storage system aims to push natural gas out of industrial processes in seven states in the US Northeast, with an assist from hot rocks. Image courtesy of Brenmiller.
Brenmiller also notes that the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act qualifies the system for “substantial federal incentives.” State and utility incentive programs could also come into play, leading Brenmiller to claim that its thermal energy storage “converts electricity into heat to power sustainable industrial processes at a price that is competitive with natural gas.
It’s only been a few months since commissioning, but apparently Rock Energy Storage has already seen enough. Rock has been working with Brenmiller since 2019, and it is now the exclusive distributor of bGen in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont as well as New York.
The concern is that Li-ion technology has reached the limits of its capability. Li-ion arrays typically last about 4-6 hours, enough to handle routine daily grid tasks or brief emergencies. However, a grid saturated with wind and solar needs more resiliency. It needs to store energy for longer periods of time, at less cost.
