Five Cargill Innovations Win 2025 Edison Awards™ for Transforming the Future of Food and Agriculture
Cargill recognized for innovations in food waste reduction, biofuels, expanding protein options, global water access, and animal health WAYZATA, Minn., April 07, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cargill is honored to win five 2025 Edison Awards, recognizing the company's bold innovations that are shaping the future of food and agriculture. From advancing climate-smart farming to driving breakthroughs in nutrition and water access, each award-winning solution showcases how Cargill is building a more secure and resilient food system. The Edison Awards, named for inventor Thomas Edison, celebrate the best in innovation, recognizing products and teams that solve global challenges, shape markets and inspire change. This marks the third consecutive year Cargill's innovations have been named among the winners. "Behind every innovation is a dedicated team working to solve real-world challenges in food and agriculture," said Florian Schattenmann, Cargill's chief technology officer. "These awards reflect the passion, collaboration and purpose that drive our teams to reimagine what's possible, whether it's improving global nutrition, reducing food waste or supporting farmer livelihoods. I'm incredibly proud of the teams who brought these solutions to life and the positive impact they're having around the world." The 2025 award-winning innovations reflect Cargill's commitment to shaping the future of food and agriculture: [SILVER] Winter Camelina for Biofuels – A cold-climate oilseed grown between seasons like a cover crop, offering farmers new income while supplying low-carbon fuel and feed. In 2025, acreage doubled, with successful sales to a SAF producer and major airline—making this crop a climate-smart win from farm to fuel. [SILVER] Cultivated Grade™ Media – A customizable, more affordable cell culture media designed to help emerging protein technologies scale by reducing a major cost barrier. Developed with input from top start-ups, it's a purpose-built solution supporting the future of diversified protein. [BRONZE] Cargill Natural Flavors – A proprietary blend of natural antioxidants that extends the shelf life of ground beef by up to five days – surpassing current solutions while minimizing food waste and increasing retail flexibility. Already adopted by major retailers, it's expected to safely preserve 1.5 million pounds of ground beef per year. [BRONZE] Cargill Currents – A joint initiative between Cargill and Global Water Challenge that tackles water challenges by tailoring solutions to address local needs. The partnership has improved access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) for over 150,000 people since launching in 2021 – from constructing solar pumps and handwashing stations to community training on WASH and water-smart agricultural practices. [BRONZE] REVEAL™ Layers – A first-of-its-kind technology that accurately and non-invasively measures laying hens' body composition on-site. Using Near-Infrared (NIR) technology, it enables real-time dietary adjustments to reduce feed costs, extend laying periods and boost egg production by up to 20 eggs per hen. Already in use in multiple countries, it's proven to optimize performance. These innovations underscore Cargill's role as a trusted partner at the center of the global food system – working alongside customers, farmers, and communities to unlock solutions that nourish people and the planet. All nominations are reviewed by the Edison Awards' Steering Committee and an executive judging body of over 2,000 senior business executives, academics, and innovation experts.

Brenmiller Energy Takes Gold Medal at 2025 Edison Awards in Energy Storage and Management Category
Brenmiller Energy (NASDAQ: BNRG) scored gold! Again. This time, taking top honors in the Energy Storage and Management category at the 2025 Edison Awards. For a small-cap stock flying under the radar, this recognition isn't just another accolade for its resume—it's a resounding peer-evaluated signal that Brenmiller's technology is more than just viable; it's essential. Not only that, by adding more top honors to its collection, Brenmiller Energy is showing itself more than ever as one of the most undervalued publicly traded innovators in the energy sector. Ironically, even those hoping to one day compete against BNRG have higher valuations. Rondo, for instance, has raised hundreds of millions so far to prove its technology's worth. That company, still private but with a valuation of over $500 million, is focused on creating a system to manage electrified thermal e nergy s torage (ETES). It might be good- we don't know. It's not yet available. Others are trying just as hard as they are. And they, too, are still developing, not selling. Brenmiller Energy is on the other side of the commercial spectrum, already marketing, and now implementing into Tempo Beverages, a Heineken subsidiary, its bGen™ thermal storage solution. This system is more than a game-changer in the energy storage and management arena- it's a dual money-maker. BNRG expects to earn potential millions from multiple revenue streams, and clients like Tempo expect to SAVE millions from a system that provides more reliable service, less maintenance, and is free from the market volatility of natural gas and fossil fuels. A recent interview on Barchart Live on X explains in great detail just how transformative this technology is. Keyword- IS. Others, as in potential competitors, are still very much in the "might be" or "could become" stages of messaging. Video Link: Grid, Client, Brenmiller- Winner, Winner, Winner Oh, and the grid? It's a beneficiary as well. Brenmiller's bGen™ system can store excess heat from the grid when overloaded and provide energy when needed. And it doesn't matter if the wind is blowing or sunny. Brenmillers bGen™ works 24/7/365, making it an unrivaled and, still unchallenged, win-win proposition for everyone involved—including investors. Despite the major accolades, integrations, partnerships, and being on the precipice of generating potentially significant revenues within the next 3-6 months, BNRG shares can still be purchased for about $1.35. For that, investors get a stake in one of the most dynamic energy companies, not just in the market but in the world. They also get a position in a company whose roughly $10 million market cap represents only a fraction of the worth of its assets already on the ground. Rather than spend thousands of additional words explaining how compelling this value proposition is, listen twice to what Kinsey and Nir say in the above interview. Like a great movie, you'll catch something you missed the first time around. But here's a spoiler alert - for investors looking for undervalued, under-the-radar companies in a booming sector, the final takeaway will leave them energized to hunt for shares. The excellent news there is that they are available at a sale price that, by any measure, is far too good to ignore. Additional Disclaimers and Disclosures: This is sponsored content.
