The Architecture

Three integrated layers. One closed loop.

Dome, energy, and operations, engineered together as a single deployable system for AI infrastructure.

Operations

Dome

Rapid-deployment structure with integrated climate control, using air-dome technology proven across over 1,000 installations worldwide.

Energy

Long-duration CO₂ compression storage, grid-interactive, sized to the facility it serves.

Operations

Digital twin, AI-driven optimization, and IoT telemetry, running from day one of deployment.

CO₂ Energy Storage

Long-duration storage, charged and discharged on site.

Surplus power compresses CO₂, and the heat of compression is captured rather than rejected. The CO₂ condenses and is held as a liquid until it is needed. To discharge, that stored heat vaporizes the liquid back to gas through a turbine, returning dispatchable power to the facility or the grid.

The reference storage module is rated at 25MW for up to ten hours of discharge — up to 250MWh — so backup is measured in hours rather than the minutes a conventional UPS provides. That figure is a starting point rather than a fixed product size: modules combine, and the configuration is engineered upward where a project calls for substantially more. Usable energy depends on depth of discharge; round-trip efficiency, dispatch, and ramp characteristics are provided on request.

The storage cycle itself is closed-loop and non-combusting, and consumes no water in operation. Heat rejection for the wider facility is designed per site and depends on climate, load, and the cooling approach selected.

What the System Delivers

One integrated system, engineered to each project.

Dome capability

  • Rapid large-format enclosure over a compute hall
  • Sized to the compute block it houses, not to a fixed increment
  • Adaptable to cooling approach and rack-density requirements
  • Reduced site work compared with conventional shell construction

Energy and operations capability

  • Reference storage module rated at 25MW for up to ten hours — combined or scaled to the project
  • Microgrid and resilience pathway for power-constrained sites
  • Configuration engineered to the load, not fitted to a fixed catalogue size
  • Digital twin and telemetry from first power-on
