Google hat groß angelegte flüssige Kohlendioxidbatterien gekauft, um erneuerbare Energien besser in die Stromversorgung seiner Rechenzentren zu integrieren.

Submission Statement

The real advantage of this tech is that it’s excellent for multi-day to weekly storage—an area where lithium-ion is cost-prohibitive.

Liquid CO₂ batteries could be cheaper per kWh than lithium-ion or flow batteries if scaling and efficiency challenges are solved. Energy Dome, the company Google has bought these off, already has customers for this tech in Italy, and signed another US customer recently.
