We are a technology company that develops, produces, markets and sells TES systems based on our proprietary and patented bGen™ technology. The use of our technology enables better renewable integration, increases energy efficiency and reduces carbon emissions by allowing constant and reliable energy while stabilizing the intermittent nature of renewable sources. We believe that climate change is the greatest challenge of our times. A major contributor to climate change is carbon emissions being emitted to the atmosphere. To combat this, countries and organizations have set and are continuing to set targets for themselves and various industries to reduce their carbon emissions. In order to meet such carbon emission targets, we believe it is necessary to ban the use of fossil fuels and, instead, rely on renewable energy sources and systems that result in carbon capture, energy storage, efficient energy recovery, and the reuse of wasted heat. Our bGen™ TES system stores energy and can recover wasted heat from available energy resources to provide one consistent energy output. By doing so, the bGen™ TES system can precisely match energy supplies with the demand and bridges the gap between renewable energy and conventional power sources. Accordingly, TES systems such as our bGen™ system have become essential to the renewable energy market to ensure the reliability and stability of energy supplies. We have developed our bGen™ technology over the last eight years and have tested it across three generations of demonstration units at various sites globally. Our bGen™ technology uses crushed rocks to store heat at temperatures of up to 1400˚ Fahrenheit and is comprised of three key elements inside one unit: thermal storage, heat exchangers, and a steam generator. The use of crushed rock as a means of storage results in no hazardous challenges to the environment and enhances system durability so that even after tens of thousands of charge and discharge cycles, the storage material does not need to be replaced because the storage material does not suffer from degradation in performance. Additionally, the bGen™ technology can be charged multiple heat sources, such as residual heat, biomass, and renewables, as well as from electrical sources using embedded electric heathers within the TES system. The TES system dispatches thermal energy on demand in the form of steam, which can be saturated for industrial use, or in the form of a superheated steam, which can be used to activate steam turbines. --- The TES system is capable of being implemented into both power plants and industrial facilities. Its applications may vary, but include, and are not limited to, the use in recovering wasted heat in production processes, solar thermal power plants, cogeneration plants, and the electrification of heat. The TES system is passive, meaning that it can function with no moving parts, motors or chemical materials that change their accumulation state and, therefore, has relatively low maintenance and operating requirements compared to other energy storage solutions. Our TES systems are suitable for integration into gas powered and combined cycle power plants, which can provide energy shifting, improve their ramp-up rates, add flexibility to their operations profile. Integration of the TES system in coal power plants can provide customers with grid storage capabilities by charging with curtailed renewable energy, and generating electricity during peak hours. Massive implementation of this application could eventually transform coal power plants into grid storage plants. We are focused on the sale of thermal storage equipment using two different business models. To date, all of our projects have been made using the sale of equipment model in which we design and sell our equipment to third party customers, install the equipment at the customer’s site and the customer remains the owner of the equipment and we provide warranty and maintenance services to the customer at a predetermined price as part of the sale package. We intend to implement in the near future a second business model, which we refer to as an ESCO – energy service company model, wherein we lease our equipment to third party customers, install our equipment at a customer’s site, provide operation and maintenance services. We then sell energy (steam, hot air, etc.) to the customer at agreed upon prices. The ESCO model is more suitable to industrial customers who are not energy experts and wish to outsource their energy services. We market our products through exclusive and non-exclusive distributers in our target markets, with online marketing efforts to attract potential customers, and direct outreach to potential customers through our sales team. Our primary target markets are in the United States, Europe, Brazil, and Israel. We are establishing commercial pilots in each of these target markets and, depending on their success, we expect to develop our sales and services for future customers in these regions. Since our incorporation, we have had ongoing losses and incurred negative cash flows from operating activities. For example, as of December 31, 2021, we had operating losses of $11,066 thousand. We have mainly financed our activities through private issuances of Ordinary Shares. Management’s plans in regard to these uncertainties include continuing commercialization of our services and securing sufficient financing through the sale of additional equity securities or debt. There are no assurances however, that we will be successful in obtaining the level of financing needed for our operations or that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us. We are an Israeli corporation based in Rosh Haayin, Israel, and were incorporated in Israel in 2012. In August 2017, we became a public company in Israel and our Ordinary Shares were listed for trade on the TASE. Our principal executive offices are located at 13 Amal St. 4th Floor, Park Afek, Rosh Haayin, 4809249 Israel.
