Energy Dome, the startup commercialising a proprietary carbon dioxide-based long-duration energy storage (LDES) tech called the CO2 Battery, has secured investment into a grid-scale project.

Noon Energy, developer of a novel carbon-oxygen battery for long-duration storage, has raised US$28 million in a Series A funding round.

Italian startup Energy Dome has launched the first demonstrator project of its carbon dioxide-based energy storage solution, a 4MWh system in Sardinia, Italy, while also revealing Series B plans.

Energy Dome has scored its first commercial licensing agreement for its carbon dioxide-based energy storage solution.

A 2.5MW / 4MWh demonstration system using novel energy storage technology based on a “carbon dioxide battery” has begun construction in Sardinia, Italy.

A combination of renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy storage can be used to effectively retire New York City’s entire fleet of more than 6GW of peaker plants by 2030, a new study has found.

It would be “feasible and cost-effective” to retire more than a gigawatt (GW) of gas and fuel oil peaker plant capacity on New York’s densely populated Long Island within three years, according to a new study.

Update 24 September 2020: A few hours after the publication of this story, Entergy made public a new pledge to reach carbon neutrality by the year 2050. The company said that while it commits to this goal it will remain committed to “grid reliability and affordability for customers”.
