Green Light for Long Duration Energy Storage in Great Britain
On 10 October 2024 the UK Government gave the green light to a cap and floor scheme to help bring long duration energy storage (LDES) projects to market. LDES projects include pumped storage hydro,
Liquid air energy storage startup Highview breaks ground at 300MWh UK
Highview''s liquid air energy storage system captures excess renewable energy during periods of low demand, storing it as liquid air for hours, days, or weeks. When required, the stored air expands to
The liquid air alternative to fossil fuels

The Liquid Air Energy Network :: About Liquid Air
While the liquefaction of air to produce liquid nitrogen or liquid oxygen is a very mature industry, liquid air is a novel energy storage technology that could play an important role in the low carbon energy future. The UK
Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES): A Breakthrough Solution for
One such solution that is now being developed is Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES). The idea was first proposed by researchers at the University of Newcastle back in 1977.
Liquid Air Energy Storage: Another Headache For Fossil Fuels
Last fall Highview announced that it will construct suite of four liquid air storage facilities in the UK by 2030, weighing in at 2.5 gigawatt-hours each. Hunterston, Scotland, will host...
Liquid Air Energy Storage A Clean Alternative To Fossil Fuels
LAES relies solely on air, water, and renewable electricity to store energy efficiently, making it one of the cleanest and most sustainable energy storage systems available today.
Explainer: does liquid air energy storage hold promise?
LAES involves converting electricity into liquid air – cleaning, cooling and compressing air until it liquefies – to be stored for later use. To discharge the energy, the air is heated and re-expanded, driving
