Brenmiller Energy Ltd., a global provider of thermal energy storage (TES) solutions, announced that its bGen™ TES system will play a key role in the SolWinHy Project, a large-scale green hydrogen and green e-methanol initiative in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain. The project has secured €25 million in funding from the European Hydrogen Bank, with €7 million allocated specifically for Brenmiller’s technology and related services.
Scheduled to begin in early 2026, the project is led by SolWinHy Cádiz S.L., a joint venture between renewable energy developers Green Enesys Group and Viridi RE. The same partners are also behind Brenmiller Europe S.L., which is advancing a pipeline of clean energy projects valued at over $200 million.
The SolWinHy Project aims to produce more than 30,000 tons of green e-methanol per year using hydrogen derived from renewable electricity and captured biogenic CO₂. Designed to operate entirely off-grid, the facility will draw energy from 54 MWh of wind and 130 MWp of solar capacity.
“We believe that this +€25 million project funding from the European Hydrogen Bank is a strong validation of bGen™’s critical place in Europe’s clean energy ecosystem and demonstrates the value of our industry-leading TES technology globally” stated Brenmiller’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Avi Brenmiller. “We’ve worked diligently with our partners Green Enesys and Viridi to complete the front-end engineering and design that led to the financing of the SolWinHy Project. This is a model for how we plan to roll out potentially up to $200 million worth of projects in Europe, by leveraging project financing and collaborations, as Brenmiller generates upfront and recurring revenues delivering bGen™ systems, services, and technology licensing.”
Brenmiller’s bGen™ system will provide 56 MWh of thermal energy storage, helping to stabilize and optimize the use of renewable energy at the site. The integration of TES into the production process will support continuous, efficient energy use and further reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
The project underscores Brenmiller’s growing presence in Europe’s clean energy sector and highlights the role of thermal storage in decarbonizing heavy industry and advanced fuels production.
