Energy Dome’s groundbreaking CO2 Battery technology, which stores large amounts of intermittent renewable energy, is uniquely suited to regions transitioning away from coal-fired power and facing significant industrial energy demands.

The establishment of Energy Dome’s APAC headquarters in Melbourne marks a significant milestone in the company’s global expansion and reinforces Victoria’s position as a hub for clean energy innovation.

Energy Dome CEO Claudio Spadacini says, “Energy Dome has identified critical advantages in establishing our APAC team in Victoria to lead the deployment of the CO2 Battery, and the Victorian Government’s support will enable us to accelerate our expansion in the state.”
