We help the world’s most difficult-to-decarbonize industries rapidly lower their energy costs and carbon emissions. Our low-cost, drop-in heat battery replaces fossil-fired boilers at industrial facilities, enabling companies to deeply decarbonize.

@Reuters: Solar and wind energy are now cheaper alternatives to fossil fuels. But its intermittent nature means that storing that power is a huge challenge. Rondo Energy is a start-up which aims to store that power as heat and cut reliance on lithium batteries https://t.co/ue6BLg8WoP

In 2020, Rondo Energy's founders were tinkering in a garage, trying to figure out how to stack bricks that could store renewable energy as heat. They ended up calling the fire department... twice. 🧵(1/5)

Rondo Energy is an interesting company.
"By 2027, Rondo Energy plans to expand production to 90 gigawatt-hours annually."
Materials science is amazing.
“A pound of brick stores more energy than a pound of lithium-ion battery, at less than 10% of the cost.”
