Energy Vault Energy Vault ’ s Co-Founder & CEO Robert Piconi maintains that minimising C02 and diesel particulates through innovative technology choices , like energy storage , is key to how the Consortium can pursue the goal of fully electric mines . “ We ’ re pleased to become a founding member of the organisation . Our unique , long duration storage technology is especially well suited for use in mines given that it provides the opportunity for the beneficial re-use of waste tailing materials as well as other localised materials , avoiding cost disposal and environmental hazard . Importantly , Energy Vault ’ s solution also economically deals with severe weather environments , in particular high ambient temperature climates , with an unprecedented , low operating cost sustainably .”
