> China has connected its first 100-megawatt-class compressed carbon dioxide energy storage facility to the grid in Mori Kazakh Autonomous County, Xinjiang. The system stores electricity during off-peak periods and releases green power at times of high demand, helping stabilize the local grid and integrate more renewable energy.
