Google invests in long-duration battery in pursuit of 24/7 carbon-free power
Energy Dome’s ‘CO2 Battery’ stores excess energy generated from renewable sources, and dispatches it back to the grid for 8 to 24 hours.
Google has partnered with Italian firm Energy Dome to deploy a type of long-duration battery in its pursuit of 24/7 carbon-free electricity.
Energy Dome’s ‘CO2 Battery’ stores excess energy generated from renewable sources, and is able to dispatch it back to the grid for 8 to 24 hours. This means solar and wind energy can be used even when these resources are not available, essentially bridging the gap between renewable generation and consumption.
