Liquid Air Energy Storage systems have the potential to be a competitive local and grid scale energy storage technology. They also have the potential to facilitate the penetration of renewable energy technologies. However, there is a clear disconnect between what has been proven in literature, and what has been demonstrated in practice.
4 · 3. Thermal energy storage. Thermal energy storage is used particularly in buildings and industrial processes. It involves storing excess energy – typically surplus energy from renewable sources, or waste heat – to be used later for heating, cooling or power generation. Liquids – such as water – or solid material - such as sand or rocks

In current CAES technology, the compressed air used to create electricity is supplemented with a small amount of natural gas or other fuel. A different type of CAES that aims to eliminate the need of fuel combustion, known
Compressed air energy storage has a roundtrip efficiency of around 40 percent (commercialized and realized) to about 70 percent (still at the theoretical stage). Because of the low efficiency of the air liquefaction process, LAES has a low roundtrip efficiency of around (50–60%). It should be emphasized, however, if waste heat is
The project is the first of many utility-scale, liquid air energy storage projects that Highview plans to develop across America to help scale-up renewable energy deployment. The Vermont facility will also contribute to resolving the longstanding energy transmission challenges surrounding the state''s Sheffield-Highgate Export Interface.
Compressed air energy storage is a large-scale energy storage technology that will assist in the implementation of renewable energy in future electrical networks, with excellent storage duration, capacity and power. The reliance of CAES on underground formations for storage is a major limitation to the rate of adoption of the
As renewable energy production is intermittent, its application creates uncertainty in the level of supply. As a result, integrating an energy storage system (ESS) into renewable energy systems could be an effective strategy to provide energy systems with economic, technical, and environmental benefits. Compressed Air Energy Storage
Compressed air energy storage is not a new concept. A 290-megawatt compressed air storage plant went online in 1978 in Huntorf, Germany, and remains in operation today. Another went online in 1991
The energy density of pumped hydro storage is (0.5–1.5) W h L–1, while compressed air energy storage and flow batteries are (3–6) W h L–1.

An alternative to those systems is represented by the liquid air energy storage (LAES) system that uses liquid air as the storage medium. LAES is based on the concept that air at ambient pressure can be liquefied at −196 °C, reducing thus its specific volume of around 700 times, and can be stored in unpressurized vessels.
