Brenmiller to Launch New bGen(TM) Thermal Energy Storage System for Nuclear Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) - Powering the Nuclear Resurgence
Nuclear power is increasingly seen as the next-generation source to support the energy demands of computing and AI infrastructure while boosting energy independence and decarbonizing at scale - and nuclear needs storage bGen™ installed in Italy with Enel - a major European utility company - is an application that can serve as a strong foundation for the continued development of Brenmiller's thermal energy storage system for integration with nuclear SMRs Potential for major safety improvements - bGen™ system architecture supports passive heat absorption, load following, and decay heat removal ROSH HA'AYIN, IL / ACCESS Newswire / July 8, 2025 / Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (Nasdaq:BNRG), a leading global provider of Thermal Energy Storage ("TES") solutions for industrial and utility customers, announced today it is developing a new version of its bGen™ TES platform technology specifically for nuclear small modular reactors ("SMRs"). SMRs produce up to 300 MW(e) of power, significantly smaller than traditional nuclear power plants, and are designed with modular components, offering greater flexibility and potentially lower costs. While reliable for baseload generation, SMRs lack the flexibility to meet dynamic grid demands - precisely the gap that bGen™ is designed to fill. "The global shift toward electrification and clean heat requires not only innovation but also adaptability," said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Brenmiller Energy. "We believe that our bGen™ system, already validated in real-world grid and industrial settings, is naturally suited to support SMR decarbonization with minimal modifications." Enel Project as Proof of Scalability & Resilience Brenmiller's bGen™ system has already been installed in Italy with Enel - a major European utility company - as part of a pilot project to decarbonize combined heat and power ("CHP") operations. This project can serve as a strong development base for future TES units tailored for SMR. Development Platform for Future SMR Integration Unlike conventional nuclear storage integrations, Brenmiller's solution provides a solid foundation that can be adapted and further developed to meet SMR requirements. bGen™'s inherent heat exchanger and high thermal mass are already optimized for interfacing with secondary or tertiary loops in nuclear systemsSystem architecture supports passive heat absorption, load following, and decay heat removalThese attributes pave the way for potential rapid deployment in SMR-linked projects New Product Launch Coming Soon Brenmiller will soon introduce a bGen™ configuration tailored for SMR and high-resilience industrial applications. This next-generation product retains Brenmiller's signature flexibility, safety, and cost-effectiveness - while unlocking powerful new use cases in the nuclear and heavy industry domains. Governments and Industry Driving Demand New executive orders from the U.S. Administration have fast-tracked SMRs and aim to significantly reform the U.S. nuclear industryA $900 million U.S. Department of Energy solicitation for SMRs was issued to support American energy and artificial intelligence ("AI") dominanceThe World Bank recently reversed its prior ban on funding nuclear power and announced it will accelerate the approval of SMRsSeveral countries in Europe are reembracing nuclear power as a means of boosting energy independence and decarbonizing at scale, including Denmark, which is rethinking its 40-year nuclear ban, according to a report by CNBC in May 2025 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. About Brenmiller Energy Ltd. Brenmiller Energy helps energy-intensive industries and power producers end their reliance on fossil fuel boilers. Brenmiller's patented bGen™ ZERO thermal battery is a modular and scalable energy storage system that turns renewable electricity into zero-emission heat.
