Innovative Energy Storage Solution

We are developing a sustainable grid-scale energy storage solution, utilising liquid air compression, storage and expansion. Offsetting the naturally intermittent nature of renewable energy generation, this technology paves the way towards a sustainable future.

Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) Cycle

The innovative and sustainable liquid air energy storage solution allows excess off-peak grid energy to be stored for peak time redistribution, providing continuous, uninterrupted energy delivery. The system takes excess energy from the grid to cool and compress air from the atmosphere to produce liquid air. This is then stored under pressure until peak times where additional energy needs to be provided to the grid. At this time the liquid air is heated and allowed to return to its gaseous form, the expansion from liquid to gas phases increases the volume by several orders of magnitude. This expansion is used to drive turbines to regenerate the
energy.
