shipped on-site for assembly starting mid-January 2025. The Company
remains on track to complete the TES system commissioning for Tempo
in 2025.
“Our recent accomplishments underscore our dedication to
maintaining rigorous project schedules and our ability to deliver
on our promises to stakeholders,” said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. “We are excited to
move forward with system assembly at Tempo’s beverage processing
facility and remain committed to achieving our ambitious timeline

Brenmiller is set to replace Tempo’s fossil fuel boilers with a
32 MWh bGen™ ZERO TES system. By enabling the switch from heat
derived from fossil fuels to heat derived from electricity,
eliminating the use of approximately 2,000 tons of heavy fuel each
year, Brenmiller’s bGen™ is estimated to mitigate over 6,200 tons
of carbon emissions annually and save Tempo an estimated $7.5
million over 15 years.

renewables or the grid and stores it in crushed rocks. It then
discharges steam, hot water, or hot air on demand according to
customer requirements. The bGen™ ZERO also supports the development
of utility-scale renewables by providing critical flexibility and
grid-balancing capabilities. bGen™ ZERO was named among TIME’s Best
Inventions of 2023 in the Green Energy category.
