Energy Dome says it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Ørsted to conduct a feasibility study on deploying a 20MW/200MWh energy storage facility using Energy Dome’s CO2 battery technology at one or more Ørsted wind power sites.
The partnership aims to use long-term energy storage to provide essential renewable energy to Ørsted’s end-use customers, mitigate the growing disparity in energy supplies and provide grid stability services. The agreement includes an option to develop several additional CO2 battery energy storage facilities, with construction of the first 20MW project potentially starting during the second half of 2024.
The company says the feasibility study project with Ørsted, which will send renewable energy over 10 hours or more, is a milestone in Energy Dome’s roadmap to develop multiple energy storage facilities for commercial CO2 batteries. It would be the first such site in Europe; Energy Dome’s first commercial pilot facility is located in Sardinia, Italy.
“As a company focused on rapidly expanding building wind, solar, power-to-X and other renewable energy solutions, we are excited to work with Energy Dome to explore how we can deploy innovative long-term energy storage technology. Kieran White, Vice President, Onshore Europe, comments, At Ørsted, “We consider the CO2 battery solution to be a really promising alternative for long-term energy storage.”
