Planned capacity will produce Rondo Heat Batteries saving 12 million tons of CO2 annually, powering deep decarbonization in the world’s most energy and emissions-intensive industries with economical and highly effective technology.

Refractory brick has been used for centuries for industrial heat storage, and is made of Earth’s most abundant elements: oxygen, silicon, and aluminum. Rondo’s breakthrough Heat Battery stores electric power as high temperature heat in refractory brick, without the use of combustibles, critical minerals, toxics, or liquids.

With Rondo’s technology, wind and solar can deliver continuous zero-carbon industrial heat at lower cost than fossil fuels, a critical need for industries worldwide producing every commodity from steel to baby food. The first Rondo Heat Battery is now commercially operating at a California ethanol plant, serving an industrial customer with the world’s highest temperature, highest efficiency energy storage of any kind.

    I thank and respect you for developing a technology that will benefit the future generation far more than your own. The world needs this.
  • @blainecollison
    Amazing! Thermal Energy Storage is a transformational piece of industrial decarbonization. Congratulations to Rondo on this milestone!
  • @ChinchillaBONK
    This went under the radar. It needs more publicity. More industrial site should install these.

    Incredible ... this is the simple brilliant tech the world needs.
  • @canterburyworkshop5631
    I look forward to the day when this technology can be used to heat homes from solar heat generation.

    I wonder what the amount of renewable energy (solar or wind) is need to generate 1 MW thru the Rondo system. Is their annual capacity for 90GWh per year. Can’t wait to see more installations and more oil and gas going the way of the dodo bird.
