A 100-megawatt-scale compressed carbon dioxide energy storage project has been connected to the grid for power generation.

On September 30, the 100-megawatt-class compressed carbon dioxide energy storage project China Huadian's Xinjiang Mulei compressed carbon dioxide energy storage project was connected to the grid and began generating electricity, completing the full process of carbon dioxide "compressionliquefactionenergy storagegasificationexpansionenergy releasepower generation." This marks an important breakthrough in China's key technologies for gas-liquid phase change energy storage and their integrated engineering application, opening up a new path for long-duration energy storage.
