A California battery start-up, Rondo Energy, claiming to be capable of reducing global CO2 emissions by using superhot brick batteries, has signed a deal with Portugal’s EDP to pair its technology with solar farms.
The successful implementation of this agreement will help Europe’s manufacturing sector weather the energy crisis while cutting emissions. Hence, this is a significant milestone for the Californian battery startup already in the spotlight because of its innovation. Speaking about the partnership, Vera Pinto Pereira, EDP’s board member, said “By working with Rondo, we can meet their energy needs for renewable energy and heat in a cleaner, affordable, and reliable way. This partnership opens another decarbonization avenue that EDP wants to lead in Europe.”Rondo has claimed that its superhot batteries can reduce global CO2 emissions by reducing the cost of industrial heat.
