Chinese company debuts carbon dioxide energy storage system: China's Hailu Boho Group has deployed a 10 MW/80 MWh carbon dioxide energy storage display system connected to the grid for power generation, Alsharq Al Awsat reports, citing Chinese publication People Daily. The project — currently undergoing debugging before it is officially operational — marks the first time the group's technology has entered the commercial application stage.

Carbon dioxide energy storage system? A carbon dioxide energy storage system is a type of energy storage that uses compressed or liquefied carbon dioxide as the working fluid. The system can store excess electricity from renewable sources by compressing or cooling carbon dioxide to a high-pressure liquid state, and then release the stored energy by expanding or heating the carbon dioxide to a gaseous state and driving a turbine to generate electricity.
