Google sees CO2 batteries as large-scale way to store renewable energy

Google is commissioning the construction of CO2 batteries by Energy Dome in Italy to provide green, reliable backup power for its data centers. These batteries are expected to be 30% cheaper than lithium-ion batteries and have greater capacity and scalability, offering renewable power around the clock. The CO2 batteries can be built quickly and with small footprints, making them a promising solution for large-scale power storage. Energy Dome's expandable dome structure minimizes CO2 release in case of damage, with interest from companies like Alliant Energy in Wisconsin for residential power supply.
