Italian firm Energy Dome uses supercritical (liquified by compression) CO 2 drawn from an atmospheric gasholder. Energy is accessed by evaporating and expanding the CO 2 into a turbine. The gas is returned to the atmospheric gasholder, until the next charging cycle. The system can be run in a closed loop, avoiding emissions. In July, 2024, the US DOE Office of Clean Energy Demon
