Energy Vault will license six additional EVx gravity energy storage systems in China just months after starting work on the world’s first GESS facility near Shanghai.
Interesting idea in its simplicity. If they can get large returns of energy close to batteries that would be worthwhile especially if using only local easy to obtain materials. What a cool system

Helps because it’s basically entirely a construction effort. If there’s anything China has a lot of, it’s construction capacity.
That’s a good point. China has construction capacity like no place else on earth.
I also wonder if the technology involved would make this more deployable in the global south due to fewer infrastructure dependencies.
The claim to get 80% energy return when the “battery” is discharged.
I saw that. Hopefully that is a true energy return and not some marketing 80%. Cool if true
