BrenX Tempo Project Shows 40% Lower Steam Costs, $1M Annual Savings
TLDR
- BrenX's bGen system at Tempo Beverages shows 40% lower steam costs, potentially saving $1M annually and giving BrenX a powerful edge in industrial electrification.
- BrenX's bGen thermal energy storage system charges with electricity and supplies steam, with live data tracking output, savings, and emissions to validate performance.
- BrenX's technology helps industries cut fossil fuel use and costs, accelerating electrification for a cleaner, more sustainable future.
- BrenX's bGen system at Tempo exceeded steam production targets by 21%, demonstrating real-world performance that could reshape industrial energy.
Impact - Why it Matters
The preliminary results from Tempo provide the first real-world validation that BrenX’s bGen™ thermal energy storage can deliver substantial cost savings for industrial steam users. With European natural gas prices near four-year highs, manufacturers are under pressure to reduce energy expenses and carbon emissions. BrenX’s demonstrated 40% lower steam costs compared to heavy fuel oil could accelerate the adoption of electrified heat and thermal storage across the food processing, dairy, and other industrial sectors. For investors, Tempo offers a concrete measure of the technology’s commercial potential and supports BrenX’s shift toward an energy services model with recurring revenue. The project also serves as a reference for future installations, such as the Wolfson Medical Center, and positions BrenX to capitalize on the growing demand for cost-effective, low-carbon industrial energy solutions in Europe and beyond.
Summary
BrenX Ltd. (NASDAQ: BRNX), a provider of thermal energy storage and integrated industrial energy solutions, has reported preliminary operating data from its flagship industrial project at Tempo Beverages in Israel that indicates potential customer energy cost savings of approximately $1.0 million annually. The 32 MWh bGen™ thermal energy storage system is supplying steam at a cost about 40% below a modeled heavy fuel oil steam baseline, according to data reported on November 4, 2026. For the five operating days from October 25 to 29, BrenX estimates net energy cost savings for Tempo were about $18,200, or about $3,640 per operating day. Assuming 280 operating days a year and net of annual maintenance costs, Tempo could save approximately $15 million over 15 years if current performance is sustained.
The savings follow strong production results. On October 15, BrenX reported that the Tempo system had reached approximately 85 tons of steam per operating day during commissioning, about 21% above the project’s base case of approximately 70 tons. BrenX is targeting full replacement of Tempo’s steam demand, and steam sales above the contracted minimum can generate revenue beyond the baseline in the project’s financial model. The company also developed a digital platform that gives Tempo live access to steam output, electrical power, pressure, temperature, charging costs, energy savings, and avoided carbon emissions, with a built-in savings calculator to model results under different electricity tariffs. BrenX said that transparency can help shorten the sales cycle by letting plant managers and CFOs see preliminary operating data indicating potential customer energy cost savings.
The timing works in BrenX’s favor: in late October, the Dutch TTF benchmark for European natural gas rose above 100 euros per megawatt-hour, its highest level since 2022. The International Energy Agency reports that Nearly 40% of fossil-fuel-based low- and medium-temperature industrial heat could be electrified cost-effectively, pointing to thermal storage as an “increasingly promising” solution. Tempo is the first proof point in a broader strategy for BrenX, which rebranded from Brenmiller Energy in August and now aims to develop, own, operate, and optimize energy assets. In Hungary, BrenX owns and operates a 1.2 MWp solar facility and has signed an agreement to buy adjacent land for a planned integrated energy resource center. In Israel, construction is underway on a 12 MWh bGen™ system at Wolfson Medical Center, expected to save approximately $1.5 million in annual energy costs. BrenX also signed a settlement with the European Investment Bank to eliminate approximately $4.8 million of debt. To learn more about BrenX, click here.
