GoKawiilEnergy Dome Launches Commercial CO2 Battery Plant in Italy with 200 MWh Capacity
Energy Dome has activated its first commercial-scale energy storage facility in Sardinia, Italy, with a capacity of 200 megawatt-hours, capable of powering approximately 18,000 homes for 10 hours. The company, founded in 2020 and based in Milan, plans to develop up to 30 gigawatt-hours of storage projects across five continents, leveraging its unique carbon dioxide battery technology that does not rely on specific geological formations. While the technology is estimated to be more cost-effective than lithium-ion for longer durations, it currently has only one operational plant and faces efficiency limitations compared to traditional batteries.
