@curiosityaihub: Google just made a strategic investment in Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery technology that can store energy for 8-24 hours using compressed carbon dioxide instead of lithium or other rare materials. Detailed Description: This breakthrough energy storage system works by compressing CO2 gas into liquid during charging, then releasing it through turbines to generate electricity when needed. Unlike traditional lithium batteries that typically last 4 hours, Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery can provide continuous power for 8-24 hours with 75% efficiency. Key Facts: • Google’s first major investment in long-duration energy storage technology • 8-24 hour energy storage duration vs 4 hours for typical lithium batteries • 75% round-trip efficiency with no degradation over 30+ year lifespan • Uses common materials: steel, water, and CO2 instead of rare earth minerals • Operating projects in Italy, Wisconsin (USA), and India with 20-200 MWh capacity Technology Breakthrough: The CO2 Battery system eliminates the need for lithium, cobalt, or other critical minerals while providing much longer duration storage. This makes it ideal for supporting renewable energy integration and providing 24/7 carbon-free power for Google’s operations across multiple continents. Real-World Deployments: Energy Dome has successfully operated their first system in Sardinia, Italy since 2022. Alliant Energy is building a 20 MW / 200 MWh facility in Wisconsin, and India’s NTPC is developing a 160 MWh project. Google plans multiple deployments before 2030 as part of their 24/7 carbon-free energy goal. Why This Matters: Long-duration energy storage is crucial for renewable energy adoption. Solar and wind power need storage systems that can bridge the gaps when the sun doesn’t shine and wind doesn’t blow. Traditional batteries are too expensive and short-lived for this application.
