carbon dioxide

Italian start-up Energy Dome has actually launched the first demonstrator project of its carbon dioxide-based energy storage space remedy, a 4MWh system in Sardinia, Italy, while also revealing Series B plans.

In charging mode, the CO2 is drawn from an atmospheric gas-holder, the Dome, compressed and then saved under pressure at ambient temperature level in a high density supercritical or liquid state. When energy needs to be launched, the CO2 is evaporated and also expanded into a generator, and then returned back to the atmospheric gas-holder, prepared for the following billing cycle

Scientists at Linköping University, Sweden, are trying to transform carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to sustain using power from sunlight. Current results have actually shown that it is possible to utilize their method to uniquely create methane, carbon monoxide gas or formic acid from carbon dioxide and water. The study has been released in ACS Nano.
