Energy Dome Inks reaches strategic business agreement with Google

Milan, Italy – Energy Dome, a pioneering company that sets the benchmark for long-term energy storage, has announced a global business partnership with Google using Energy Dome’s CO2 battery technology to enable the grid operated by Google to provide carbon-free energy to the grid. In addition to the commercial agreement, Google has made strategic investments in the Energy Dome.

Electricity is the key to modern life and prosperity. This is increasingly important as energy systems electrify, and economic growth drives new power demands, including AI and computing demands in data centers.

Solar energy and wind are one of the most cost-effective and fast ways to deliver the capability to the grid, but are inflexible due to its inherent intermittentity. Long-term energy storage addresses this flexibility constraint by storing solar and wind energy and distributes when needed. For energy users like Google, the technology enables “company” electricity to meet demand in a reliable, clean and cost-effective way.

Google’s first commercial long-term energy storage deal is part of an ever-growing portfolio of advanced energy technologies, namely, realizing its ambition to operate on 24/7 carbon Free Energy by 2030. By 2030, Energy Dome’s choice and the CO2 battery technology choice on the market reflect its ability to deploy on a global basis, at a scale, speed and affordability basis.

The carbon dioxide battery can continuously send energy for 8 to 24 hours, thereby unlocking enough solid power to meet the base load and flexibility requirements of large energy users. Modular, site-independent product design uses off-the-shelf equipment without supply chain bottlenecks, ensuring highly scalable solutions to efficiently and cost-effectively store large amounts of energy.

Furthermore, the mechanical components of the technology help stabilize the mesh by providing the natural inertia of the rotating machinery. This is especially important given the gradual increase in solar energy and wind (lack of inertia), while the ramps at traditional fossil fuel stations are gradually decreasing, and when plants are decommissioned, plants will lose. Thus, the carbon dioxide cell smooths out abrupt frequency changes by acting as a shock absorber, thus helping to maintain the grid elasticity.

Maud Texier, director of energy at Google EMEA, said.

The commercial agreement aims to develop carbon dioxide battery projects in all key geostrategic areas including Europe, the United States and the Asia-Pacific region, with the goal of rapidly expanding deployment to meet Google’s 2030 carbon-free energy target. The pipeline for sites and projects has been identified in the partnership, which is currently in the development and contract phase.

Claudio Spadacini, founder and CEO of Energy Dome, said. “

Exceed In business cooperation, Google also invested in the energy dome. The investment entered the growth phase of commercial deployment with the company and has signed several projects including Alliant Energy in the United States, Engie in Intaly and NTPC in India.

By investing directly in Milan in a large scale, Google is strengthening its long-term commitment to accelerate the commercialization of this verification technology. As a pioneer of first-generation corporate purchase agreements, Google brought both customer perspectives and experiences while solar and wind were still in its infancy, and could enhance the maturity and commercial scale of CO2 battery technology, thus bringing adoption benefits to the community and the economy.

Energy Dome is the forefront of redefining long-term energy storage with carbon dioxide batteries. The properties of carbon dioxide allow the system to effectively store energy through a patented thermomechanical process, thus representing the most effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries or pump-hydrogen solutions. Carbon dioxide batteries are already a fully proven and cost-effective system that does not use lithium or rare earth elements to store electricity, with excellent round-trip efficiency. With a modular approach and site-independent footprint, CO2 batteries can use off-the-shelf components of available, reliable existing supply chains, providing scalable avenues to store large quantities of intermittent renewable energy and accelerate energy transitions; this is the only technology portfolio today that provides efficiency, cost, scalability, and global viability.
