Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES)

Want to create a sustainable energy reserve? Liquid air energy storage is an innovative energy storage system based on liquid air and an excellent alternative to batteries.

What is liquid air energy storage (LAES)?

Liquid air energy storage is an innovative and sustainable technology for storing energy surpluses from green energy sources. The big advantage of LAES is that you only use inexhaustible raw materials for energy storage. This is done in three steps:

1 | Transform: you use the energy surplus to suck in air from the environment, which is cooled and converted into liquid air (cryogenic).

2 | Storage: the liquid air can be collected for the long term under low pressure in a vacuum-insulated tank.

3 | Recovery: Time to use your energy reserve? The liquid air is then pumped out of the tank again under high pressure. You can use this directly as compressed air, but you can also reuse it to generate electricity. Are you struggling with a heat surplus? Then you even enjoy an extra high efficiency for your energy storage. A nice bonus!

What are the advantages of liquid air energy storage?

  1. Scalability: LAES systems can be scaled to meet a wide range of energy storage needs, from grid-scale applications to industrial and commercial installations.
  2. Long-duration Storage: LAES has the potential for long-duration energy storage, making it suitable for storing renewable energy from intermittent sources like wind and solar power.
  3. High Efficiency: With the ability to reach high round-trip efficiency rates, LAES offers an efficient and cost-effective solution for energy storage and grid balancing.
  4. Environmental Benefits: LAES technology is environmentally friendly, producing zero carbon emissions during operation. It can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and support the transition to a low-carbon energy future.
  5. Flexible Deployment: LAES systems can be deployed in various locations, including urban areas, remote sites, and industrial facilities, providing flexibility in energy storage solutions.
