Many thanks to Energy Storage Coalition for meeting with Energy Dome’s co-founder and CPO Francesco Oppici, and for this article. The energy transition is upon us, and Europe must lead the charge. But achieving a truly sustainable energy future requires more than just renewable sources: it necessitates reliable and cost-effective energy storage, a crucial piece of the puzzle that's often overlooked. In this recent interview, Francesco dives deep into the role of energy storage in Europe's energy transition, highlighting the potential of our CO2 Battery – a cutting-edge technology – to provide long-duration energy storage solutions, ensuring grid stability and maximizing renewable energy integration. Here's a glimpse into what’s been discussed: 🔘 Our Ottana Project in Sardinia: Francesco details the construction of our first full-scale CO2 Battery, poised to power approximately 14,000 homes. This project serves as a benchmark for our technology's viability and scalability, demonstrating its ability to provide long-duration energy storage with superior round-trip efficiency and a lifespan exceeding 30 years. 🔘 Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, the CO2 Battery utilizes readily available materials and avoids reliance on rare earth elements, ensuring long-term reliability and cost-effectiveness. This makes it a highly compelling alternative for large-scale energy storage projects. 🔘 Francesco candidly addresses the challenges of navigating a regulatory landscape that often lags behind technological advancements - we need a more flexible and technology-neutral framework that allows innovative energy storage solutions to thrive. 🔘 We need to advocate for EU policymakers to prioritize the development of a regulatory environment that does not discriminate against specific technologies, leveling the playing field for innovative solutions like our CO2 Battery, enabling them to compete fairly and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Great news for the renewable energy sector in Europe! 🌱⚡ Construction has begun on the interconnect between the UK and Germany.🔗 Upon completion, the energy link between the UK and Germany is set to revolutionize the landscape of renewable energy across the continent. This interconnector will enable a seamless exchange of green energy, significantly boosting the share of renewables in our energy mix across Europe. Here are some of the positive changes we can look forward to: We should see an increase in efficiency- excess renewable energy generated in one country could be easily transferred to another, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency. We would also see an increase in stability and security- the interconnected grid will enhance energy stability and security, reducing the risk of blackouts and ensuring a reliable supply of clean energy. Most importantly, we should see a reduction of the carbon footprint by optimizing the use of renewable resources, contributing to a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #GreenFuture #EnergyTransition #UKGermanyEnergyLink #CleanEnergy #ClimateAction #EnergyEfficiency #interconnectors #balancingmechanism #energybalance #supplydemand #supplyanddemand #energydemand #energy #power #renewable #renewabletrading #powertrading #energytrading #lowcarbonenergy

Finland Announces Groundbreaking Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage Project! 🇫🇮 #renewableenergy #energystorage Exciting news from Finland! Vantaan Energia is building a massive underground thermal energy storage facility – the size of two Madison Square Gardens! This innovative project will store excess heat from summer for use in winter, meeting the heating needs of a medium-sized city for up to a year. Renewable energy is key to our future, but wind and solar aren't always available. This project tackles intermittency by joining the ranks of creative solutions like hibernating batteries and industrial-scale sand batteries. ☀️ "The world's energy transition is in full swing," says Vantaan Energia CEO Jukka Toivonen. "Renewables are crucial, but storing them for later use remains a challenge. Small-scale solutions won't suffice - we need large-scale, industrial answers." This project utilizes underground caverns to store thermal energy, pumped through an existing district heating network when needed. A huge leap forward in energy sustainability! #Finland #DistrictHeating #Innovation https://flip.it/.lJknZ
90-GWh thermal energy storage facility could heat a city for a year
