given the 10-hour figure, one would assume it can feed up to 20 MW to the grid at any time
they have already built a 4 MWh pilot plant in Italy
the utility has also been building lithium-ion battery farms, so it stands to reason they see enough potential in this approach to continue pursuing it
compressed CO2 storage has advantages over compressed air in that it can be stored indefinitely at ambient temperature and has a higher energy density in liquid form
Spent breakfast researching this:
So they’re literally using gas compression as a storage medium for energy? That’s genius.
In case you are in this community but haven’t religiously read everything on Low Tech Mag.
