Brenmiller's SolWinHy Project in Spain: Revolutionizing Green Fuel Production with European Hydrogen Bank Funding
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 the bGen™ thermal energy storage system.
  • The project aims to produce 30,000 tons of green e-methanol annually, utilizing 6,500 tons of green hydrogen powered by 100% renewable energy sources, scheduled to start in Q1 2026.
  • Operating off-grid, the facility will rely solely on wind and solar energy, with Brenmiller's bGen™ system providing essential clean heat storage capacity, aligning with the EU's decarbonization objectives.
  • The initiative not only advances green fuel production but also highlights the potential market opportunities for Brenmiller's thermal storage solutions across Europe, signaling a positive step towards sustainability.
Brenmiller Energy, through its SolWinHy Project in Spain, has secured a substantial funding of €25 million from the European Hydrogen Bank. A major portion of this funding, €7 million, is specifically designated for the bGen™ thermal energy storage system. The project's primary objective is to produce 30,000 tons of green e-methanol annually by utilizing 6,500 tons of green hydrogen, all powered by 100% renewable energy sources. The project is set to commence in the first quarter of 2026 and is considered a significant component of Brenmiller Europe's impressive €200 million commercial pipeline. The SolWinHy Project is unique in its off-grid operation, completely dependent on 54 MWh of wind energy and 130 MWp of photovoltaic electricity. Brenmiller's bGen™ system will provide 56 MWh of clean heat storage capacity, crucial for the plant's functioning. This initiative not only contributes towards the European Union's decarbonization objectives but also demonstrates institutional support for green fuel production technologies. It is expected to create new market avenues for Brenmiller's thermal storage solutions across Europe, showcasing a step towards a more sustainable future.
