Brenmiller Energy Ltd., a leader in thermal energy storage (TES) technologies, has announced that the SolWinHy Cádiz S.L. project in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain, has secured over €25 million in funding from the European Hydrogen Bank. Of this, €7 million is allocated for Brenmiller’s bGen™ TES system, which will provide 56 MWh of clean heat to support the production of green e-methanol.
SolWinHy, a joint venture between Green Enesys Group and Viridi RE, aims to become one of the EU’s premier green hydrogen initiatives. The project plans to produce 6,500 tons of green hydrogen annually to generate 30,000 tons of green e-methanol using 100% off-grid solar and wind power, as well as sustainably sourced wastewater. It highlights the potential of hydrogen and e-fuels in decarbonizing the EU’s industrial, energy, and transport sectors.
Construction of the project is expected to begin in Q1 2026, with Brenmiller anticipating a purchase order for bGen™ systems and associated services.
“This funding validates bGen™’s role in Europe’s clean energy landscape,” said Avi Brenmiller, CEO of Brenmiller Energy. “It showcases how TES can drive scalable, off-grid, and renewable hydrogen production.”
José Luis Morán, Director at Green Enesys and Viridi, emphasized bGen™’s role in enabling off-grid functionality. The project is part of Brenmiller Europe’s growing $200 million pipeline of commercial clean energy ventures.
This development marks a significant milestone in the EU’s green transition, integrating advanced TES with fully renewable infrastructure to produce clean fuels.
