Overview

• The collaboration seeks to address renewable energy storage challenges by using skyscrapers for gravity energy storage systems.
• Gravity batteries store excess energy by lifting weights, then release it by lowering them to generate power when needed.
• The proposed designs could power not only the skyscrapers themselves but also surrounding buildings.
• Innovative systems use either massive blocks or pumped water to harness gravitational energy.
• The project is still in early design stages, with significant engineering and economic challenges ahead.
