"Italian long-duration energy storage company Energy Dome will establish its
new APAC headquarters in Melbourne as it continues to identify potential sites
in Victoria to deploy its proprietary CO₂ Battery.
Founded in 2020, Energy Dome boasts a large scale and long duration energy
storage technology that is based on a thermodynamic process that uses CO₂ to
store electricity cost-effectively with what the company claims is
“unprecedented round-trip efficiencies.”
Specifically, according to Energy Dome, their technology “uses a thermodynamic
cycle, charging by drawing carbon dioxide from a ‘Dome’ gasholder, storing it
under pressure, and then dispatching it by evaporating and expanding the gas
through a turbine back into the gasholder.”
These characteristic domes boast a 10-hour discharge duration and reduces
storage costs by storing the CO₂ at ambient temperature in its liquid phase and
requiring only water, steel, and CO₂ for its component parts.
Already close to completing a full-scale CO₂ Battery plant in Sardinia and
having already signed multiple commercial contracts for its technology in the
United States and India, Energy Dome is also currently working to identify
potential sites across Victoria.
Now, the Milan based company has chosen Melbourne to play host to its APAC
headquarters, building on the strong existing relationship and economic
partnership which exists between the two cities."
