Carbon dioxide energy storage (CES) technology is a process that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) and uses it as a medium to store and release energy efficiently. This advanced technology supports sustainable energy management by transforming CO2 into a reusable form, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions while facilitating the integration of renewable energy.
The primary categories of carbon dioxide energy storage (CES) technology are carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon capture and utilization (CCU), and carbon capture and conversion (CCC). Carbon capture and storage (CCS) refers to a technology that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industrial operations or power plants and securely stores them underground or in other long-term containment systems to prevent their release into the atmosphere. These technologies are applied across multiple energy storage approaches, including compressed air energy storage, thermochemical energy storage, chemical energy storage, and phase change material storage, and involve various storage states, such as solid, liquid, and gas. They are used for a wide range of applications, including power generation, industrial processes, oil and gas, transportation, buildings, agriculture, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are influencing the carbon dioxide energy storage technology market by increasing costs of imported compressors, turbines, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, and control systems used in CES installations. Power utilities in North America and Europe are most affected due to dependence on specialized imported equipment, while Asia-Pacific faces higher costs for large-scale deployment. These tariffs are increasing upfront system costs and extending project timelines. However, they are also supporting regional manufacturing, domestic engineering capabilities, and localized deployment of energy storage solutions.

This carbon dioxide energy storage (ces) technology market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The carbon dioxide energy storage (ces) technology market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.13 billion in 2025 to $5.7 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in renewable energy capacity, early deployment of energy storage pilots, increasing grid balancing requirements, development of compressed gas storage technologies, investments in low-carbon energy systems.
The carbon dioxide energy storage (ces) technology market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.64 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for long-duration energy storage, rising renewable energy intermittency, expansion of smart grid infrastructure, growing investments in carbon-neutral storage technologies, advancements in thermochemical storage systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of co2-based energy storage systems, rising integration with renewable power grids, growing deployment of utility-scale storage projects, expansion of hybrid energy storage configurations, enhanced focus on grid stability solutions.
The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources is expected to drive the growth of the carbon dioxide energy storage (CES) technology market. Renewable energy sources are natural resources that are replenished sustainably, such as sunlight, wind, water, and biomass, and can be harnessed to generate electricity or heat without depleting the Earth's resources. The growth of renewable energy adoption is driven by the global need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, combat climate change, and transition toward cleaner energy systems. Carbon dioxide energy storage technology supports renewable energy by enabling efficient storage and utilization of excess energy, stabilizing supply, reducing emissions, and enhancing overall grid reliability. For instance, in December 2024, according to Eurostat, renewable energy accounted for 24.5% of energy consumed in the EU in 2023, up from 23.0% in 2022. The increasing adoption of renewable energy is therefore a key driver of the CES technology market.
Companies in the CES technology market are focusing on long-duration energy storage solutions to enhance grid reliability and support renewable energy integration. Long-duration electrical energy storage systems can store large amounts of electricity and discharge it reliably over extended periods-from several hours to days-balancing supply and demand. In January 2025, National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) in India launched a state-of-the-art CO2 battery energy storage project at its Kudgi Super Thermal Power Station in Karnataka. Designed for long-duration, grid-scale storage, the system has an energy capacity of 160 MWh and a lifespan exceeding 25 years. The CO2 battery uses a closed Brayton thermodynamic cycle with anhydrous CO2, requires no critical minerals like lithium or cobalt, delivers 100% depth of discharge, and shows minimal performance degradation compared with conventional batteries. The project was executed by NTPC Research and Technology (NETRA), in collaboration with Triveni Turbine Limited and Italy-based Energy Dome, which provided the CO2 battery technology.
In October 2023, MAN Energy Solutions SE, a Germany-based engineering company, partnered with Energy Dome to develop and deploy CO2 battery long-duration energy storage technology. The collaboration combines MAN's turbomachinery expertise with Energy Dome's CO2 battery technology to accelerate scalable, long-duration grid energy storage solutions.
