Comment on First of its kind 'energy dome' storage project takes another step forward in Wisconsin

Spent breakfast researching this:
- the plant would store 200 MWh
- given the 10-hour figure, one would assume it can feed up to 20 MW to the grid at any time
- they have already built a 4 MWh pilot plant in Italy
- the utility has also been building lithium-ion battery farms, so it stands to reason they see enough potential in this approach to continue pursuing it
- compressed CO2 storage has advantages over compressed air in that it can be stored indefinitely at ambient temperature and has a higher energy density in liquid form
- it has disadvantages in terms of plant safety

So they’re literally using gas compression as a storage medium for energy? That’s genius.

In case you are in this community but haven’t religiously read everything on Low Tech Mag.

The battery meter is a hoot. The Game Boy Camera images are just weird.

It’s an efficiency thing, the images are tiny compared to full color - the whole site is made to use as few resources as possible.They operate it off solar power (hence the battery meter) and around an ethos of reversing a lot of modern web design bloat practices.
