Bigger than I'd hoped it would be, but I like the idea of #CCUS #CO2Batteries quite a bit as #ClimateProgress

The Milan-based company's storage system is based on turning carbon dioxide gas into a liquid and vice versa in a closed system using compressor to turbine, which it says is cost-effective.

"Our challenge is precisely to prove to the financial world that this technology translates into sustainable cash flows," founder and CEO Claudio Spadacini told Reuters. https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oman-fund-invests-italian-lithium-free-energy-storage-2023-07-20/
