Energy Dome on the island of Sardinia has completed a proof of concept facility for its long duration CO2 battery.
. When it is time to discharge the energy, the stored heat that is used to evaporate the liquid carbon dioxide, which then turns back into a gas which spins a turbine as it returns to the dome. The system only requires steel, carbon dioxide, and some water. The closed loop system generates no emissions.
“Ironically, we use CO₂ to make our system work,” Spadacini says, before adding that it’s only needed to kick start the system, which is designed to last around 30 years. “Our system is fully closed. We add no emissions to the atmosphere. It’s just a black box which is able to charge with the surplus electricity when there is an abundance of it.”
“The CO₂ battery is fully sustainable and fully recyclable,” the inventor says. “We just use steel to produce the CO₂ battery and we use water only once to fill our water tank. We do not use water during the operation of the CO₂ battery and we just use a small amount of CO₂ to charge the battery at the beginning without any consumption of CO₂ during the operation.” Please see the video below for more details.
The company says its first full facility, a 20 MW/200 MWh installation, will be in operation on Sardinia by the end of 2023, just in time to help power the island after the two coal-fired generating plants there now are shuttered. Energy Dome has already secured multiple commercial agreements, including with Italian utility A2A for the construction of a first 20MW/100 MWh facility.
The criminal assault on Ukraine has made energy security and supply chain integrity much higher priorities than they were just 6 months ago. “To be independent of minerals and rare material is a big advantage from the point of view of energy security, but also in terms of geopolitical stability,” Spadacini says. Amen to that.
