Israeli thermal energy garage company Brenmiller Energy, which uses crushed stones to generate heat that can be released when required in the form of steam, hot water or hot air, is entering the Brazilian market.
Last week a Brenmiller unit was installed at a Fortlev factory in Annapolis.
Fortlev is one of the leading water garage response corporations in Brazil, specializing in products such as water tanks, tanks, cisterns, wastewater treatment plants, pipes and fittings.
The Brenmiller garage units, which are already in use in Israel, the United States, Romania and Italy, will help the industry break free from its dependence on fossil fuels.
Their sets feature electric heaters that can be heated through any energy source, from sun and wind to off-grid hours. They can also incorporate heat from exhaust pipes, heat recovery or, as in the case of Fortlev, biomass combustion. – materials of plant origin.
Heat is retained through the crushed rock at maximum temperatures.
Hot air, steam, and hot water are used to heat and sterilize in a variety of advertising environments, from manufacturing, food production, and meat processing to advertising laundries and hospitals.
In the coming years, Fortlev plans to expand its use of the Israeli company’s generation at its production facilities in Annapolis and seven more sites in Brazil.
It will also create a production line for Brenmiller garage sets in Brazil, according to a statement from Brenmiller.
Brenmiller Deputy Chief Executive Doron Brenmiller said a full implementation could reduce energy costs at Forlev’s largest production plant by 75 percent and reduce global warming emissions by 48,000 tons per year, to those emitted by 10,500 cars in a year.
Brenmiller recently indexed its inventories on the Nasdaq inventory exchange and is now listed in New York and Tel Aviv.
