PPF Cuts Emissions 42% by 2030 with Brenmiller's 12-Year HaaS Deal
PPF, a leading pet food manufacturer, has signed a 12-year Heat as a Service (HaaS) deal with Brenmiller Energy. This agreement aims to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Brenmiller will construct, own, and operate a 30 MWh bGen ZERO system adjacent to PPF's plant in Dombovar, Hungary. This system will generate low-carbon steam, replacing fossil fuel boilers and reducing PPF's energy costs and carbon footprint.
The project, estimated to cost around US$5 million, will also provide grid-balancing services to local Transmission System Operator (TSO) Mavir. Mavir's new capacity market program encourages flexibility, boosting Brenmiller's project revenues. The pet food industry's suitability for thermal energy storage, with 97% of process heat below 130°C, makes this project a good fit.
PPF will buy steam from Brenmiller at a fixed rate, ensuring stable energy costs. Brenmiller sees the food and beverage sector as a significant market for its thermal energy storage solutions.
The 12-year HaaS agreement, signed in Debrecen, Hungary, is expected to help PPF reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030. Brenmiller's bGen ZERO system will provide low-carbon steam and grid-balancing services, benefiting both PPF and Mavir.
