About bGen\u2122<\/b><\/p>\n
\nbGen\u2122, Brenmiller\u2019s TES system, converts electricity into heat to power sustainable industrial processes at a price that is competitive with natural gas. The bGen\u2122 charges by capturing low-cost electricity from 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\u2122 also supports the development of utility-scale renewables by providing critical flexibility and grid-balancing capabilities. bGen\u2122 was named among TIME\u2019s Best Inventions of 2023 in the Green Energy category.\n<\/p>\n
