Rondo Energy
United States
Rondo Energy makes industrial decarbonization possible — and profitable — today. The company provides zero-carbon, low-cost industrial heat to heavy industry, such as cement, mining, steel, chemicals, food & beverage, and beyond. It does this by capturing low-cost renewable electricity in its Rondo Heat Battery (RHB) which provides on-demand delivery of high-temperature heat in the form of hot air, steam or hot water. Rondo helps customers lower their operating costs while continuously powering operations with zero-carbon energy. Rondo not only helps replace fossil fuels for some of the most challenging sectors to decarbonize, but its technology can also help stabilize the grid by reducing curtailment and making use of excess renewable electricity.

We’re transforming the future of sustainable chemistry by swapping out petroleum-based polymers and chemicals with next-gen bio-based ingredients that outperform the competition across cosmetics, agriculture, coatings, food, pharmaceuticals, and more. Our secret? A groundbreaking circular process that fuses waste stream as media, synthetic biology, fermentation, and green chemistry—turning waste streams into high-value resources. This not only slashes waste but also cuts CO2 emissions by 75% compared to synthetic alternatives, delivering unparalleled efficiency, performance, and environmental impact.
