Energy Vault to provide 1.6 GWh of gravity energy storage to support DG Fuels SAF projects

Green Car Congress

This initial project will be followed by additional projects in British Columbia and Ohio. These facilities typically use approximately one ton of coal to produce one BBL of hydrocarbons, with a life cycle CO 2 -emissions calculation that is slightly worse than equivalent fuels derived from conventional oil refining.
