Long-duration energy storage (LDES) technology company Energy Dome and global low-carbon energy firm Engie have agreed to purchase energy from the first commercial-scale CO₂ battery in Sardinia, Italy.
The companies today (19th Dec) announced the signing of an offtake agreement for the facility, which is expected to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2025.
Energy Dome will own and operate the CO2 battery facility, and Engie will optimise and dispatch the stored energy in the Italian power markets. Engie has been managing and optimising battery energy storage systems (BESS) in Italy since 2023, with a portfolio of 43 MW/48 MWh.
Edouard Neviaski, CEO of Engie’s Global Energy Management and Sales business, said the collaboration reflects the company’s commitment to developing sustainable and flexible solutions that support the energy transition.
