Concrete tower energy storage technology
Energy Vault – energy storage made of concrete blocks and cranes
The process is similar to a pumped-storage hydropower plant (HPP), with water substituted with concrete blocks and gravity doing the rest. The energy storage technology has been invented by a Swiss-based startup called Energy Vault, which recently received a USD 110 million investment from Softbank Group. Why storage?
