Abstract
A COenergy storage system includes a storage tank that stores a COslurry, including dry ice and liquid CO, at COtriple point temperature and pressure conditions. The storage system also includes a first pump coupled in flow communication with the storage tank. The first pump is configured to receive the COslurry from the storage tank and to increase a pressure of the COslurry to a pressure above the COtriple point pressure. The energy storage system further includes a contactor coupled in flow communication with the first pump. The contactor is configured to receive the high pressure COslurry from the pump and to receive a first flow of gaseous COat a pressure above the COtriple point pressure. The gaseous COis contacted and then condensed by the melting dry ice in the slurry to generate liquid CO.
