Rondo Energy

Rondo is thrilled to be a finalist for Bloomberg's BNEF Pioneers award, in Challenge 1: Making light industry more sustainable. "The energy transition has made many of the easier early gains, and there are now clear paths to decarbonization in a range of sectors, such as clean power generation and transport. Large swathes of industry, however, have remained stubbornly difficult to decarbonise. Today, one-third of industrial emissions are derived from ‘light’ industries such as pulp and paper, food and beverage production, textiles, and glass and ceramics. With this challenge, BNEF was looking for technologies that address the environmental impact of this group of lighter industries. The selected finalists focus on industrial heat pumps and thermal energy storage as a pathway to heat electrification, alongside ways of making the textile industry more environmentally friendly." https://lnkd.in/eXuu3diy

Great feature from Canary Media Inc. about Oatly’s ambitions to decarbonize their heat loads. Rondo helps the food and beverage industry decarbonize heat production by providing a flexible heat battery solution that meets or exceeds a diverse range of process requirements. Our heat batteries enable a smooth transition to low-carbon and renewable energy sources, cutting emissions and providing a reliable, flexible supply of low-cost heat—all without any process changes or the need to modify the current steam infrastructure.

"Thermal batteries store excess electricity from renewable sources like wind and solar as heat in materials like bricks or graphite, which can reach temperatures exceeding 3,000°F. Rondo Energy deployed its first commercial thermal battery in California, storing solar energy as heat in clay bricks. According to reports, the solution enables storage of more energy per pound than lithium-ion at only 10% of the cost. The systems are designed to deliver high-temperature heat on demand, making them particularly suitable for energy-intensive industries like steel, cement, and chemical manufacturing." https://lnkd.in/geQbDuxd

Congratulations to our friends at Siam Cement Group (SCG) for being awarded the “SET ESG Ratings Sustainable Stock” at the AAA level for 2024 by the Stock Exchange of Thailand, recognizing its commitment to responsible business operations that prioritize environmental and social responsibility. We're thrilled to be partnering with them: "In addition, it is also moving forward with the clean energy business, the “Rondo Heat Battery”, which stores heat energy from clean energy." https://lnkd.in/gfDmZMjx

NEW PODCAST: "We now have a new fuel that is cheaper than the fuels that industry used. It’s intermittent solar energy, some places intermittent wind energy, and it is intermittent electricity that’s becoming the cheapest source of energy humans have ever had available. We have now entered this world where on a primary energy basis, you can have electricity at a lower cost than burning fuel." -- John O'Donnell, Rondo's Chief Innovation Officer & Co-Founder. At Rondo Energy, we are an operational-focused organization dedicated to solving the world’s most difficult decarbonization challenges. We are a diverse group problem solvers unafraid to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty to solve any problem, big or small.

📺 VIDEO: CNBC recently published a fantastic feature on Rondo and Electric Thermal Energy Storage (ETES), "Why thermal batteries could replace lithium-ion batteries for energy storage." 📈 Heat batteries are experiencing a rapid rise to prominence. Rondo has announced 11 commercial developments, including 8 projects, more than $160 million in funding, and 4 partnerships, all across 5 different industries: food and beverage, cement, fuel, chemicals, and textiles. Why is this important? Industry accounts for 25% of carbon pollution, with 74% tied to heat. Our technology can cut 6 gigatons of global CO₂, equal to emissions from 1.5 billion cars. With a $3+ trillion market potential, we’re driving new demand for renewables, improving energy security, and accelerating rapid carbon reduction within the world’s most hard-to-abate sectors. Thank you to Lisa S. for producing this fantastic feature! https://lnkd.in/efH4_83D

🏆 Rondo is proud to be named the Energy Storage Awards winner for Breakthrough R&D / Innovation of the Year! 🏆 The Rondo Heat Battery (RHB) replaces fossil-fired boilers with heat derived from intermittent renewables; at the same time, RHBs stimulate the production of more renewable electricity through their ability to absorb low-cost (or excess) electricity, and turn it into low-cost heat. The end result? A cleaner and more reliable electric grid, and low-cost, zero-carbon heat for industrial facilities. Congratulations to all of the winners and runners up across all categories for the great work you're doing to accelerate the deployment of energy storage technologies. 📢 A special shoutout the the runners up in our category: EVE Energy Co.,Ltd., Gresham House Energy Storage Fund, Zenobē, Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd., and Rimac Energy. #StorageAwards
