Italian company Energy Dome has announced the successful launch of its first CO battery installation in Sardinia, Italy. The milestone marks the final de-risking of CO battery technology as Energy Dome enters the commercial scale-up phase, becoming the first commercial long-duration energy storage technology on the market that offers a reliable alternative to fuels. fossil fuels for globally dispatchable baseload energy.
The Energy Dome CO battery uses carbon dioxide to store renewable energy , such as solar and wind power, for a long period and release it quickly. Energy Dome says the technology can be quickly deployed anywhere in the world at less than half the cost of similarly sized lithium battery storage facilities.
Energy Dome began operations in February and has grown from concept to full multi-megawatt scale testing in just over two years. This successful launch is also due in part to the unique na C Level Executive List ture of the Energy Dome process, which integrates known components into a novel industrial process based on a thermodynamic transformation of CO
CO battery technology is based on a closed-loop thermodynamic process that stores energy efficiently by manipulating CO in different state conditions. In charge mode, CO is compressed and stored under pressure at room temperature in a high-density liquid or supercritical state. In discharge mode, CO is expanded in a turbine and stored again in an atmospheric gasholder, releasing the energy to the grid in a closed-loop system with zero emissions to the atmosphere.
The battery can offer levelized cost of storage (LCOS) as low as US$- per MWh within a few years, while lithium batteries range between US$-/MWh. Additionally, Energy Dome's thermodynamic liquid CO system has a round-trip efficiency of -%, higher than any other long-duration energy storage technology currently on the market, including liquid air-based solutions, compressed air and gravity.
Energy Dome is now preparing for its first large-scale MW-MWh plant. Its first commercial project, Commercial Operation Date, is expected to be implemented in late
The company has already secured multiple commercial agreements, including with an Italian utility AA for the construction of the first MW-h facility. Earlier this year, Energy Dome also signed a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Ansaldo Energia, a major supplier of power generation plants and components, to build long-duration energy storage projects in Italy, Germany, the Middle East and Africa.
