Brenmiller's SolWinHy Project: Advancing Green e-Methanol Production in Spain
Key Ideas
- Brenmiller Energy secures €25 million funding from the European Hydrogen Bank for the SolWinHy Project in Spain, with a significant portion allocated to bGen™ thermal energy storage.
- The project aims to produce 30,000 tons of green e-methanol annually, utilizing 6,500 tons of green hydrogen and 100% renewable energy sources.
- Scheduled for Q1 2026, the SolWinHy Project exemplifies Brenmiller's innovative approach to renewable energy and aligns with the EU's decarbonization objectives.
- This initiative not only showcases Brenmiller's commitment to green fuel production but also opens up potential market opportunities for their thermal storage solutions across Europe.
Brenmiller Energy has secured €25 million in funding from the European Hydrogen Bank for the SolWinHy Project in Spain, marking a significant milestone in their renewable energy endeavors. A substantial portion of the funding, €7 million, is specifically designated for Brenmiller's bGen™ thermal energy storage system. The SolWinHy Project's primary goal is to produce 30,000 tons of green e-methanol annually, powered by 6,500 tons of green hydrogen and 100% renewable energy. What sets this project apart is its off-grid operation, relying solely on 54 MWh of wind and 130 MWp of photovoltaic electricity, ensuring independence from the national grid. The bGen™ system will play a crucial role by providing 56 MWh of clean heat storage capacity necessary for the plant's operation. Anticipated to begin in Q1 2026, the project is poised to receive a purchase order for the bGen™ system as it kicks off. By producing e-methanol from green hydrogen, the SolWinHy Project aligns with the European Union's objectives for decarbonization across various sectors. This initiative not only highlights Brenmiller's dedication to green fuel production but also paves the way for potential market growth for their thermal storage solutions throughout Europe.
