Storing clean electricity as heat could help decarbonize heavy industry and balance the grid — if the technology can prove itself in real-world conditions. In the U.S., Rondo Energy’s “heat batteries” — refractory brick blocks that can reach up to 1,500 degrees Celsius — started supplying heat to an ethanol plant in California last year. And in Europe, Rondo has won funding that will support projects at a chemicals plant in Germany owned by Covestro; at GreenLab, a green industrial park in Denmark; and at an undisclosed food-and-beverage processing facility.

Good to see concrete solutions and business case ready green energy enablers coming into reality.
A very nice feature on Rondo via Canary Media Inc.: Rondo’s heat batteries will soon be cleaning up factories in US, Europe. "... In Europe, Rondo last month won a commitment of 75 million euros ($80.6 million) from Breakthrough Energy Catalyst, the Bill Gates–founded investment group and an early Rondo backer, along with the European Commission and the European Investment Bank (EIB). The funding will support projects at a chemicals plant in Germany owned by Covestro; at GreenLab, a green industrial park in Denmark; and at an undisclosed food-and-beverage processing facility. In the U.S., Rondo’s “heat batteries” — refractory brick blocks that can reach up to 1,500 degrees Celsius — started supplying heat to an ethanol plant in California last year. Under projects announced this year, the batteries are set to be installed in distilleries in Illinois and Kentucky owned by international spirits manufacturer Diageo and at a plastics recycling facility being built in Texas by chemicals giant Eastman — projects that are backed by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) grants now being negotiated by the companies involved." https://lnkd.in/gibHMt6t

The Plastics Recruiter® Helping the Plastics Industry's Best Managers Rise to the TOP of the Industry by Building Amazing Teams
Have you ever stopped to consider how plastics fuel our everyday lives? Not just in the items we use, but in the energy that powers them? Welcome to the lesser-known role of plastics in energy generation. The connection between plastics and energy generation might not be immediately obvious, but it's significant. Plastics play a crucial role in energy systems, from traditional power plants to cutting-edge renewable energy technologies. In conventional power generation setups, plastics are used in everything from insulation and protective gear to key components in energy infrastructure. Their durability, flexibility, and resistance to external factors make them ideal for these demanding applications. On the flip side, the renewable energy industry also counts on plastics. Think about solar panels or wind turbines - two cornerstones of renewable energy. You'll find plastics in the protective coatings, casings, and even the blades of wind turbines. The use of plastics in energy generation is an exciting aspect of our industry. As we strive for more efficient and environment-friendly energy solutions, the role of plastics is set to become even more crucial. It's time to shine a light on this vital relationship between plastics and power. Are you ready to explore how plastics are energizing our world? #PlasticsInEnergy #PowerGeneration #RenewableEnergy #IndustryInnovation #FutureOfEnergy
