SOM designs supertall skyscrapers that generate and store energy

American studio SOM has partnered with energy storage company Energy Vault to design four schematic sustainable energy storage systems, including integrating the technology into supertall skyscrapers.
SOM worked on four potential systems for Energy Vault's G-Vault gravity-based storage solutions. Two designs feature integration into tall buildings and the other spread out over a landscape.
Called EVu, EVc, EVy, and EV0 each of the four schemes makes use of gravity energy storage systems (GESS),
