Brenmiller Energy Secures Funding for SolWinHy Project to Produce Green E-Methanol in Spain
Key Ideas
- Brenmiller Energy's bGen™ TES system will be charged using renewable energy to provide 56 MWh of clean heat for the green e-methanol production project at SolWinHy Cadiz S.L. in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain.
- The SolWinHy Project, recognized as one of the European Union's top green hydrogen initiatives, aims to deliver 6,500 tons of green hydrogen annually for 30,000 tons of green e-methanol production using 100% renewable energy sources.
- The project, funded by the European Hydrogen Bank with €25 million, showcases the synergy between hydrogen and e-fuels in decarbonizing industrial, power generation, and transportation sectors while demonstrating the potential of Brenmiller Energy's TES technology globally.
- Through strategic partnerships and financing, Brenmiller Energy plans to roll out additional projects in Europe, leveraging the bGen™ systems to contribute to the clean energy transition and achieve the EU's environmental goals.
Brenmiller Energy Ltd., a global provider of thermal energy storage solutions, has secured funding from the European Hydrogen Bank for the SolWinHy Project in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain. The project, spearheaded by SolWinHy Cadiz S.L., aims to produce green e-methanol using renewable energy sources, including off-grid solar and wind power, and sustainable water from a local waste water plant. The partnership between Brenmiller Energy, Green Enesys Group, and Viridi RE focuses on advancing green hydrogen and e-methanol projects in Europe. The €25 million funding includes support for Brenmiller's bGen™ TES system, which will play a crucial role in enabling off-grid operations for the project.
The SolWinHy Project is designed to showcase the potential of hydrogen and e-fuels in reducing carbon emissions across various sectors. By delivering 6,500 tons of green hydrogen annually for green e-methanol production, the project aligns with the EU's clean energy objectives. Brenmiller Energy's Chairman highlighted the significance of this funding in promoting clean energy solutions and emphasized the role of the bGen™ technology in driving sustainable practices.
Green e-methanol, a key output of the project, is produced sustainably from hydrogen sourced from renewable electricity and captured biogenic carbon dioxide. The initiative includes plans for a self-sufficient energy production setup with 54 MWh of wind and 130 MWp of solar electricity production, independent of Spain's national grid. The integration of bGen™ thermal energy storage with a 56 MWh capacity underscores the project's commitment to efficient energy management.
The SolWinHy Project at SolWinHy Cadiz S.L. represents a significant step towards decarbonizing the industrial sector and promoting green energy solutions in Europe. With a focus on utilizing renewable resources and innovative technologies, the project sets a precedent for future ventures in the region. Through collaboration and investment, Brenmiller Energy aims to drive the transition towards sustainable energy practices and contribute to the EU's clean energy goals.
