Google turns CO2 into battery power for clean energy

Google has partnered with Italian company Energy Dome to develop a novel method of storing clean energy using carbon dioxide. The system, called CO2 Battery, captures CO2 and converts it into a liquid state, which can then be used to generate electricity when needed. This process helps to store renewable energy, such as solar and wind, for later use, addressing the intermittency challenge of these sources. The CO2 Battery technology is designed to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for energy storage, as it does not require rare earth materials or other scarce resources. Google's involvement in this project underscores the company's commitment to sustainability and its efforts to support the transition to a low-carbon economy. The partnership between Google and Energy Dome aims to further develop and scale the CO2 Battery technology, potentially contributing to the broader goal of reducing global greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the adoption of clean energy solutions.
