Google Partners With Italy’s Energy Dome on First Long-Duration Carbon Dioxide Battery for 24-Hour Carbon-Free Power

Google has entered a commercial partnership with Italian energy storage company Energy Dome to advance carbon dioxide battery technology aimed at providing carbon-free, long-duration energy storage. This technology can store energy for up to 24 hours, helping to balance the intermittent supply of renewable sources like wind and solar by storing energy when it is generated and dispatching it when needed. The collaboration represents Google's first investment in long-duration energy storage, supporting its efforts to supply carbon-free power to its operations. Separately, Saudi Aramco is partnering with a Google AI spinoff to explore converting captured carbon into marketable products. Additionally, energy storage firm Lyten has shifted its focus from electric vehicles to powering technologies such as AI data centers, grid storage, drones, and robots.
