NEW PODCAST: "We now have a new fuel that is cheaper than the fuels that industry used. It’s intermittent solar energy, some places intermittent wind energy, and it is intermittent electricity that’s becoming the cheapest source of energy humans have ever had available. We have now entered this world where on a primary energy basis, you can have electricity at a lower cost than burning fuel." -- John O'Donnell, Rondo's Chief Innovation Officer & Co-Founder. At Rondo Energy, we are an operational-focused organization dedicated to solving the world’s most difficult decarbonization challenges. We are a diverse group problem solvers unafraid to roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty to solve any problem, big or small.

📺 VIDEO: CNBC recently published a fantastic feature on Rondo and Electric Thermal Energy Storage (ETES), "Why thermal batteries could replace lithium-ion batteries for energy storage." 📈 Heat batteries are experiencing a rapid rise to prominence. Rondo has announced 11 commercial developments, including 8 projects, more than $160 million in funding, and 4 partnerships, all across 5 different industries: food and beverage, cement, fuel, chemicals, and textiles. Why is this important? Industry accounts for 25% of carbon pollution, with 74% tied to heat. Our technology can cut 6 gigatons of global CO₂, equal to emissions from 1.5 billion cars. With a $3+ trillion market potential, we’re driving new demand for renewables, improving energy security, and accelerating rapid carbon reduction within the world’s most hard-to-abate sectors.
