More Than 30 Years: Inside the CO2 Storage Dome
Episode 9236
Published 19 hours ago
Description
More than 30 years without capacity degradation is the stated life of this CO2 battery.
I describe the dome as a gas holder: electricity compresses its CO2 into liquid, while the resulting heat is stored separately.
When power is needed, that heat turns the liquid back into gas to drive a turbine, giving buyers a storage option that doesn't use lithium.
