DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Google is investing in Energy Dome's CO2 battery systems to enhance power backup for its global data centers, utilizing compressed carbon dioxide to generate electricity. The first facility in Sardinia can store 2,000 tons of CO2, producing 200 megawatt-hours of electricity, and offers significant advantages over lithium-ion batteries, including lower costs and longer lifespan. This initiative aligns with the tech industry's push for energy sovereignty and improved control over power supply.
