Google Partners with Energy Dome to deploy long-duration energy storage powered by the CO2 Battery technology. This commercial partnership aims to supply carbon-free energy across Google’s global infrastructure. As part of this deal, Google has also made a strategic investment in Energy Dome. This move strengthens its commitment to achieving 24/7 clean energy operations by 2030.
Why Energy Dome and Google Are Partnering
Electricity is critical to digital progress, especially for data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure. As energy demands surge, clean and reliable sources become essential. Solar and wind energy are low-cost and scalable but lack flexibility.
That’s where long-duration energy storage plays a key role.
Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery captures renewable power and dispatches it on demand. It offers stable, “firm” electricity ideal for Google’s high-performance needs.
CO2 Battery provides energy for 8 to 24 hours continuously.
This solution covers baseload and peak demands while enhancing grid resiliency. It uses modular systems and common industrial components, avoiding global supply delays.
The technology adds grid stability through mechanical inertia.
As fossil plants shut down, renewable-heavy grids need balance. CO2 Battery steps in as a shock absorber, smoothing fluctuations and preventing blackouts.
Google’s Clean Energy Commitment
Google’s first long-duration energy storage deal supports its 2030 carbon-free energy target.
The company chose Energy Dome’s scalable, cost-efficient battery for its readiness and global deployability. This aligns with Google’s long-standing support for clean tech pioneers.
Maud Texier, Director of EMEA Energy at Google, emphasized the wider impact.
She highlighted how this partnership benefits not just Google, but communities seeking affordable, resilient electricity.
Investment Alongside Commercial Alliance
Google has also invested directly in Milan-based Energy Dome.
This capital injection comes as Energy Dome enters a commercial deployment phase. Active projects include collaborations with Alliant Energy (U.S.), Engie (Italy), and NTPC (India).
The partnership targets strategic regions across Europe, the U.S., and Asia-Pacific.
A pipeline of sites is already in development, with ongoing contracting underway. Both companies aim for rapid global rollout to meet ambitious energy goals.
Claudio Spadacini, Founder and CEO of Energy Dome, welcomed Google’s investment.
He described the collaboration as a scalable, cost-effective path to 24/7 clean energy for the world’s most demanding energy users.
