Energy Dome Supplies a Step Forward For CCS
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
