Summary
CO2 Battery is a Long Duration Energy Storage system based on a closed thermodynamic loop that uses CO2 as working fluid. Thanks to the properties of carbon dioxide, the system allows to store energy efficiently and cost effectively. CO2 Battery metrics are:
- Round-trip efficiency (RTE) = 75% without degradation over time
- CAPEX = 183 €/kWh (First-of-its-kind) able to drop to 103 €/kWh with a capacity of 50 plants per year
- Lifetime = 30+ years
- Modular and site independent
- No rare material hard to supply or dismantle: it uses only steel, water and CO2.
CO2 Battery makes the energy transition possible, since the technology can store massive amounts of intermittent renewable energies. Customers are Utilities & Independent Power Producers, Renewable Energy developers, Large C&Is and energy transport and distribution operators. All of them need efficient systems to store energy for periods longer than 4 hours.
