About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Diageo North America is partnering with Rondo Energy to install Rondo Heat Batteries at production sites in Plainfield, Illinois and Shelbyville, Kentucky. The project uses renewable energy storage for zero-carbon industrial heat and power, replacing natural gas boilers to achieve carbon neutrality by 2026 and 2028 respectively. Evidence: "The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), as part of its Industrial Demonstrations Program (IDP), has selected Diageo North America to begin award negotiations of up to $75 million in funds to support the electrification of its production sites in Shelbyville, Kentucky and Plainfield, Illinois" — https://www.diageo.com/en/news-and-media/press-releases/2024/diageo-north-america-selected-by-us-doe-to-install-innovative-heat-battery-technology
