    • bGen™ thermal energy storage system to be charged using renewable energy to store and provide 56 MWh of clean heat for green e-methanol production at SolWinHy Cadiz S.L.

    • SolWinHy selected as one the European Union’s top green hydrogen projects with plans to deliver 6,500 tons of green hydrogen annually for 30,000 tons of green e-methanol, 100% renewable energy from off-grid solar and wind, and sustainable water sourced from local waste water plant

    • Project demonstrates the potential of hydrogen and e-fuels to decarbonize the European Union’s industrial, power generation, and transportation sectors

    • Project is part of Brenmiller Europe’s $200 million pipelineof commercial opportunities that are advancing toward funding and implementation

    MADRID, SPAIN / ACCESS Newswire / May 23, 2025 / Brenmiller Energy Ltd. (“Brenmiller”, “Brenmiller Energy” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:BNRG), a leading global provider of thermal energy storage (“TES”) solutions for industrial and utility customers, announced today that the European Hydrogen Bank, has granted SolWinHy Cádiz S.L. (the “SolWinHy Project”) in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain, €25 million in funding. From the total project CAPEX, €7 million are earmarked for Brenmiller’s bGen™ TES. The project is slated to commence in the first quarter of 2026 when Brenmiller expects to receive a purchase order for the bGen™ andassociated services.

    SolWinHy is a special purpose company jointly owned by leading renewable energy developers Green Enesys Group (“Green Enesys”) and Viridi RE (“Viridi”) to build new green hydrogen and green e-methanol projects in Europe. Green Enesys and Viridi are Brenmiller’s joint venture partners in Brenmiller Europe S.L.

  • Owe the IRS? Clear Start Tax Shares Critical Do’s and Don’ts to Avoid Costly Mistakes

    Owe the IRS? Clear Start Tax Shares Critical Do’s and Don’ts to Avoid Costly Mistakes

    From Common Myths to Smart Solutions, Clear Start Tax Explains How to Handle IRS Debt the Right Way

    IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 23, 2025 / Owing money to the IRS can feel overwhelming, and confusion about what to do often leads taxpayers to make costly mistakes. According to Clear Start Tax, a trusted tax resolution firm, many people fall victim to common myths or make panic-driven decisions that worsen their situation.

    Whether it’s ignoring IRS notices, falling for false promises, or assuming there are no options, misunderstanding how IRS debt works can quickly escalate to wage garnishments, levies, or liens. Clear Start Tax is working to educate taxpayers on what’s true, what’s not, and how to take the right steps toward resolution.

    Common Myths About Owing the IRS

    Many taxpayers delay action because they believe misinformation or rely on assumptions about how the IRS operates. These myths can lead to inaction-or worse, decisions that trigger enforcement. Clear Start Tax highlights some of the most common misconceptions that often cause taxpayers to miss out on relief opportunities or face avoidable penalties:

    • “If I ignore it, the IRS will leave me alone.”
      The IRS never forgets-and ignoring notices accelerates enforcement.

    • “I shouldn’t file if I can’t afford to pay.”
      Not filing triggers additional penalties, even if you owe nothing upfront.

    • “Tax relief is only for people in extreme hardship.”
      Many taxpayers qualify for relief programs without being in financial crisis.

    • “I can negotiate directly with the IRS without risk.”
      A single error on financial forms can lead to denial, delays, or tougher terms.

    “The biggest mistake we see is taxpayers believing they have no options-or believing the wrong ones,” said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “Understanding the facts is the first step to avoiding serious consequences.”

    Step-by-Step: How to Start Resolving IRS Debt the Right Way

    Once taxpayers understand what not to believe, the next challenge is knowing where to begin. The IRS does offer programs to help, but they require proactive effort and accurate information. Clear Start Tax recommends following these essential steps to avoid enforcement and move toward a manageable resolution:

    • Open Every IRS Letter – Important deadlines and warnings are often missed

    • File All Outstanding Returns – Staying current is critical, even without payment

    • Review Your Finances Honestly – Know what you can actually afford

    • Explore IRS Programs – Options like Offer in Compromise, Installment Agreements, or CNC status can offer real relief

    • Consult a Licensed Tax Professional – Expert guidance prevents errors and maximizes your chances of approval

    “The IRS provides relief options, but navigating them correctly is critical,” added the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. “We help taxpayers avoid costly mistakes and ensure they get the best possible outcome.”

    Clear Start Tax: Guiding Taxpayers Away From Mistakes-and Toward Relief

    Successfully resolving IRS debt isn’t just about knowing what options exist-it’s about avoiding missteps and following the right process from start to finish. Many taxpayers lose time, money, or face enforcement simply because they misunderstood IRS procedures or submitted incomplete information. Clear Start Tax provides the expertise and support needed to navigate complex tax issues confidently and efficiently.

    • IRS notice review and strategic next steps

    • Application support for relief programs like OIC and CNC

    • Customized payment solutions based on real financial situations

    • Direct IRS communication to prevent enforcement actions

    About Clear Start Tax
