Rondo Energy and Siam Cement Group Plan 90GWh Battery Production Capacity, World’s Largest

Planned capacity will produce Rondo Heat Batteries saving 12 million tons of CO2 annually, powering deep decarbonization in the world’s most energy and emissions-intensive industries with economical and highly effective technology. Refractory brick has been used for centuries for industrial heat storage, and is made of Earth’s most abundant elements: oxygen, silicon, and aluminum. Rondo’s breakthrough Heat Battery stores electric power as high temperature heat in refractory brick, without the use of combustibles, critical minerals, toxics, or liquids. With Rondo’s technology, wind and solar can deliver continuous zero-carbon industrial heat at lower cost than fossil fuels, a critical need for industries worldwide producing every commodity from steel to baby food. The first Rondo Heat Battery is now commercially operating at a California ethanol plant, serving an industrial customer with the world’s highest temperature, highest efficiency energy storage of any kind.
