Liquid Air Could Be the Clean Energy Storage Breakthrough the Planet Needs

16 Oct 2025 | Abstracted from One Green Planet

Liquid air energy storage (LAES) cools and compresses air into a liquid, storing renewable energy for later use. It's scalable, low-impact, and ideal for balancing intermittent sources like wind and solar. When demand rises, the liquid air is warmed, expands, and drives turbines to generate electricity. LAES could be a breakthrough for clean energy storage with 50-70% efficiency, offering long-duration capacity without geographic limits or toxic materials.
