The Albany Gazette - Brenmiller Energy and New York Power Authority Showcase Thermal Energy Storage Success at SUNY Purchase College

TEL AVIV, IL / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2025 / 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, announced today the publication of a joint case study with the New York Power Authority ("NYPA") detailing the deployment and performance of a TES system at Purchase College, State University of New York ("SUNY").

The $2.5 million project, installed at the college's Physical Education Building, serves as a pilot demonstrating how TES technology can significantly improve energy efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in institutional settings. Brenmiller's bGen™ TES unit at Purchase College is part of a combined heat and power application designed to meet nearly 100% of the College's physical education building's heating needs.

The case study, developed under the Renewable® Thermal Collaborative's Innovative Pilot Projects initiative, provides critical insights into how modular TES can support the decarbonization goals of public infrastructure, particularly in the education sector.

Highlights from the project include:

• TES modularity enables flexible and efficient deployment across diverse infrastructure.

• Pilot installations offer replicable frameworks for wider adoption.

• TES integration with existing technologies boosts system reliability and thermal performance.

• Containerized TES introduces unique thermal management dynamics requiring tailored design strategies.

"This collaboration with the NYPA is a prime example of how thermal energy storage can be effectively implemented to help institutions reduce emissions and stabilize energy usage," said Gadi Sharir, Managing Director, USA at Brenmiller Energy. "As more public entities prioritize net-zero transitions, scalable and proven solutions like our bGen™ can provide a suitable solution."

The project and its key findings will be presented in a webinar at 11:00 AM EDT / 8:00 AM PDT, on Monday, May 19, 2025 hosted by the Renewable Thermal Collaborative.

About bGen™

bGen™ ZERO is Brenmiller's TES system, which converts electricity into heat to power sustainable industrial processes at a price that is competitive with natural gas. The bGen™ ZERO 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™ ZERO also supports the development of utility-scale renewables by providing critical flexibility and grid-balancing capabilities. bGen™ ZERO was named among TIME's Best Inventions of 2023 in the Green Energy category and won Gold in the Energy Storage and Management category at the 2025 Edison Awards.
