Energy Dome and New Era Energy & Digital, Inc. signed a Memorandum of Understanding to deploy Energy Dome’s CO2 Battery Plus technology at New Era’s Texas Critical Data Centers (TCDC) site in Odessa, Texas. The partnership aims to support New Era’s planned 1GW+ AI-optimized data center by enhancing operational flexibility, reducing emissions, and maximizing speed to power. Energy Dome’s proprietary CO2 Battery Plus system integrates energy storage with waste heat recovery from gas-fired generation, improving efficiency and enabling combined-cycle-like performance. The technology operates in three modes: Charge Mode during low-demand hours, Discharge Mode (SuperBoost) during peak demand, and Generation Mode (Boost) to increase net power output by up to 25%. The collaboration aligns with the growing energy demands of AI infrastructure and positions both companies to deliver scalable, lower-emissions power solutions for hyperscale data centers.
