California-based Rondo Energy and Thailand's Siam Cement Group (SCG) will operate the world's largest battery factory in Thailand. Rondo Heat battery storage production capacity at the SCG facility will increase from GWh to GWh per year, more than any current battery manufacturing facility worldwide.
The GWh of planned capacity will result in savings of million tonnes of CO per year. This is equivalent to removing more than million gasoline-powered vehicles from the roads each year.
Rondo's technology opens a new path for SCG to achieve its deep decarbonization goals while reducing its operating costs.
Rondo's innovative heat battery captures intermittent electricity from solar and wind power and stores the energy of that electricity as high-temperature heat in refractory bricks without the use of fuels, critical minerals, toxi C Level Executive List ns or liquids. Refractory bricks are made of fireproof materials that can withstand high temperatures. Stored heat is delivered on demand at temperatures up to °C.
Rondo's wind and solar technology can provide continuous, carbon-neutral industrial heat at a lower cost than fossil fuels, a critical need for industries around the world.
The first Rondo Heat battery is now operating commercially at a California ethanol plant, serving an industrial customer with the world's highest efficiency, highest temperature energy storage of any type. SCG, through its subsidiary SRIC, produces refractory bricks at world-class scale and quality. Rondo and SCG together address the next step towards large-scale industrial decarbonization.
The industrial sector uses more energy than any other part of the global economy, and most industrial energy is used as heat. Industrial heat consumes a quarter of the world's total energy and currently emits a quarter of the world's CO . Industrial heat has been seen as “difficult to decarbonise” due to cost, continuity and temperature challenges.
Rondo Heat batteries transform intermittent wind and solar energy into the continuous, high-temperature, low-cost heat that industry needs. This planned production will support facilities that power a wide range of industries, from mining and metals to fuels and food production, at facilities around the world.
