Brenmiller Energy Ltd. ("Brenmiller," "Brenmiller Energy" or the
"Company") (Nasdaq: BNRG), a leading global provider of thermal
energy storage ("TES") solutions for industrial and utility
customers, is proud to provide shareholders with a comprehensive
overview for its end of 2024 activity. Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Avi Brenmiller, reflects on the Company’s achievements
during 2024 and outlines the Company’s exciting path forward,
including insights into strategic initiatives, technological
advancements, and how its unwavering commitment to sustainability
and innovation can make 2025 a transformative year.
Dear Valued Shareholders,
With 2024 in our rearview, it's worth pausing to appreciate the
journey we’ve taken to get here—a journey marked by pioneering
innovation in TES, strategic partnerships with leading energy
industry players, and an uncompromising commitment to redefining
the way global industries think about and consume heat. Having
successfully navigated this journey, I believe that Brenmiller
Energy has become more than a company focused on creating
shareholder value: we’ve built a conduit for a resilient, reliable,
and secure renewable energy future.
The strides we made in 2024 represent more than incremental
improvements; we’ve achieved critical milestones that we believe
can position us to deliver transformative results in 2025. With a
$440 million global pipeline of commercial opportunities and the
ability to manufacture up to 4 GWh of bGen™ TES systems from our
factory, we are positioned better than ever to serve rapidly
growing demand for clean and low-cost industrial heat.
Transformation is in Progress
Over fifty percent of our $440 million commercial pipeline
originates in Europe, where demand for industrial decarbonization
solutions is enormous. During 2024, we formed Brenmiller Europe
S.L. (“Brenmiller Europe”), a joint venture with leading renewable
energy developers Green Enesys and Viridi, to take advantage of the
market’s dynamics and convert our pipeline into revenue-generating
projects. We believe that Brenmiller Europe will help grow our
global sales and service infrastructure and accelerate our ability
to deliver customers lower energy costs and a reduced carbon
footprint.
One of our first European projects is a 12-year Heat as a
Service (“HaaS”) agreement with Partner in Pet Food Hungaria KFT
(“PPF”), one of Europe’s leading private-label pet food producers.
We’re developing a 30 MWh bGen™ ZERO system, which we will use to
sell zero-emission electric steam to PPF at a fixed rate. Thanks to
favorable energy market dynamics in Hungary, we believe we’ll be
able to further increase shareholder returns by offering grid
balancing services to local transmission system operators.
In Germany, our partnership with Entelios AG has opened the door
to one of the world’s largest and most advanced industrial energy
markets. The country’s robust regulatory environment and focus on
increasing renewable integration create an ideal environment for
our bGen™ technology to thrive. Through our presence in Europe,
we’re well-positioned to capture a sizeable share of Germany’s
projected $2.9 billion market for TES solutions by 2028.
Beyond Europe, our collaboration with Tempo, partially owned by
Heineken International B.V., is experiencing great momentum. One of
Israel’s largest producers and distributors of beverages for
renowned brands like Heineken and Pepsi, Tempo’s decision to
replace its fossil fuel boilers with our bGen™ ZERO TES technology
not only demonstrates trust in our cutting-edge solution but is
also reflective of a rapidly growing paradigm shift across global
industrial sectors: clean heat is a competitive advantage. Using
off-peak electricity from the grid and solar PV, our bGen™ system
for Tempo is expected to mitigate over 6,200 tons of carbon
emissions annually. We estimate Tempo will save approximately $7.5
million on energy costs over 15 years using TES. We recently
completed manufacturing the 32 MWh system’s components from our
gigawatt factory and are on track to begin on-site assembly in
early 2025.
Also in Israel, we signed a definitive agreement with Wolfson
Hospital to supply low-carbon electric heat over seven years. The
$3.55 million project will replace Wolfson Hospital’s diesel
boilers with a 12 MWh bGen™ ZERO system. The switch to electric
heat has the potential to save Wolfson Hospital up to $1.3 million
annually and reduce its local carbon footprint by 3,900 tons per
year.
Finally, our recently announced collaboration with TUTCO Heating
Solutions Group (“TUTCO”), a global leader in electric heating and
part of a £5.6 billion industrial technology company, has
strengthened our manufacturing supply chain and expanded our
production capacity, ensuring scalability and customer demand.
These deals validate our bGen™ technology’s maturity and
reliability, advance our business goals, and reinforce growing
global demand for cleaner, more affordable, and more resilient
energy. We believe our approach to delivering clean heat uniquely
positions us to address the industrial sector's most pressing
decarbonization challenges with competitive distinction.
The Global Energy Market in 2025
According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, the energy storage
market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 23% until 2030, fueled by
increasing renewable generation and grid modernization efforts.
This expansion presents a unique opportunity for Brenmiller Energy
because, unlike other forms of energy storage, our TES solutions
directly address challenges like intermittency, high costs, and
scalability.
Geopolitical and economic shifts are also working in our favor.
A growing number of nations continue to recognize the near- and
long-term value of decarbonization and energy independence,
creating what we believe will be unprecedented demand for reliable,
affordable, and highly scalable storage solutions, which our bGen™
technology delivers. bGen™ ability to integrate seamlessly with
industrial and electrical market applications is a key competitive
advantage, making Brenmiller Energy a vital and contributing
partner in the global energy transition.
A Forward-Looking Perspective—Inflection Point in
2025
Building on last year’s significant milestones, we’re confident
that 2025 will be transformative for our Company for several
reasons:
- Unprecedented Market Penetration The relationships we’ve
built throughout Europe and across North America and Asia, combined
with our expanding production capacity, will enable us to serve
more clients in more regions. This geographic diversification
reduces risk while increasing revenue streams.
- Commercialization at Scale The bGen™ ZERO system’s
commercial rollout represents a tipping point. Our gigafactory has
up to 4 GWh of manufacturing capacity, which translates into a
potential $200 million worth of production. With growing interest
from some of the world’s largest producers of consumer goods,
including Fortune 500s, seeking to decarbonize their operations, we
anticipate strong adoption and a steady revenue ramp-up throughout
2025.
- Innovation and Differentiation Brenmiller Energy doesn’t
just compete; we lead. Our focus on research and development
ensures we remain ahead of the curve, aiming to offer solutions
that are both technologically superior and economically
viable.
- Enhanced Revenue Streams We’re meeting key project
milestones on schedule and on budget, which can unlock critical
performance-based revenues. Additionally, collaborations like the
one with Entelios are focused exclusively on creating additional
revenue streams for clients and shareholders. By enrolling our
bGen™ systems in local energy market programs, we create an
extraordinary win-win scenario—for our Company, our clients, the
grid, and the environment.
- Global Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”)
Momentum As carbon regulations tighten and corporations
increasingly realize the market value of cleaner and lower-cost
energy technologies, our TES solutions offer a unique advantage.
They comply with ESG criteria and can catalyze industrial sectors’
decarbonization goals, creating a competitive advantage for our
customers and a compelling value proposition for investors.
- Strategic Capital Allocation Our private placement
financing, which closed in December at a premium to the market
price for our share demonstrates trust and enthusiasm from this
institutional shareholder. These funds are not just a vote of
confidence—they fuel our growth engine. Every dollar is
strategically allocated to initiatives that maximize return on
investment, from ramping production to expanding market
penetration. Many of the large-scale projects, either in
development or various stages of negotiation, are planned to
benefit from non-dilutive project-based financing as well as
government grants.
- Our Unique Ability to Serve Demand Valued shareholders,
the current reality of what stands in front of us is clear—the
world needs better, more affordable, more sustainable, and less
volatile energy solutions, and we need them now.
We believe our technology, partnerships, and market positioning
will translate to our Company capturing a significant share of this
burgeoning market, while others in the competitive landscape are
still in the early stages of evaluating technology. Thus, your
investment in Brenmiller Energy is one that can help shape the age
of industrial electrification.
As we aim to redefine what's possible in industrial
decarbonization, together, I believe we can create a future that's
more than sustainable; it's prosperous.
Sincerely,
Avi Brenmiller CEO, Brenmiller Energy
