We're thrilled to be working with Covestro to deploy an RHB100 heat battery, which is scheduled to begin operation at Covestro’s Brunsbüttel site at the end of 2026. The project will produce ten percent of the steam required at the site, saving up to 13,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. “Rondo Heat Batteries deliver deep decarbonization by changing the fuel, not the factory,” said Eric Trusiewicz, CEO of Rondo Energy. “We’re honored to be working with Covestro to prove our safety, reliability, and efficiency under real conditions on a large scale over a long period of time. And we’re excited to be deploying in Brunsbüttel, where large flexible electricity loads are particularly valuable to the electricity grid.” Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e6mPK99D
Together with Rondo Energy we install an innovative heat battery for the first time at our site in Brunsbüttel 🇩🇪. The Rondo Heat Battery stores intermittent renewable electricity and delivers continuous high-temperature steam, offering a sustainable alternative to steam generation with fossil fuels. Bill Gates Breakthrough Energy Catalyst foundation and the European Investment Bank (EIB) are supporting this installation scheduled to begin operation in 2026. Another benefit of this project: it will save up to 13,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. ♻ ℹ Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e6mPK99D

1wThat's incredible news! Kudos to Covestro and Rondo Energy for this exciting collaboration. The deployment of the RHB100 heat battery at the Brunsbüttel site marks a significant step towards deep decarbonization and sustainable steam generation. Saving up to 13,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year is a remarkable achievement. I'm curious, what are some of the key challenges you anticipate in integrating the Rondo Heat Battery with the existing infrastructure at the Brunsbüttel site? #RenewableEnergy #SustainableInnovation #DecarbonizationJourney
