With its Rondo Heat Battery (RHB), Rondo Energy helps energy-intensive organisations to economically access the benefits of continuous, high-temperature renewable heat without overhauling existing facility infrastructure. The RHB is a “drop-in, zero-emission boiler replacement”. The RHB charges and discharges simultaneously, charging from low-cost, on- or off-grid intermittent renewable energy. That electricity heats up bricks with resistive heating. Air passes over the bricks and, when needed, heat is delivered as superheated air or steam at temperatures of up to 1,500 degrees Celsius at the exact pressure and temperature required. Rondo and Calgren Renewable Fuels are currently operating the world’s highest temperature commercial electric thermal energy storage system in the world, which is also the highest efficiency energy storage system of any kind in commercial operation.
