Energy storage is crucial to replacing thermal generation powered by burning coal, oil, or methane with clean, zero emissions renewable energy. A conventional turbine can keep spinning as long as the supply of fossil fuels is available. Renewables stop supplying electricity when the sun goes down or the wind stops blowing. Energy Dome says it has the solution.
In theory, we could build lots of battery storage units except for two things. First, batteries are relatively expensive. Second, batteries can only supply power for about 4 hours. Energy Dome says its system can store energy for up to 10 hours at less than half the cost of lithium-ion batteries. Its first demonstration facility is now operational on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia, home to Energy Dome founder Claudio Spadacini.
That plant has confirmed the performance of the CO2 Battery and its ability to store energy…
