Based on compressed air energy storage
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Storage Grand Challenge showed that conventional Compressed Air Energy Storage has lower installed cost and Levelized Cost of Energy vs. all other technologies – including Lithium-Ion batteries – over any storage duration.
Cryogenic compressed air can be stored in vacuum insulated pressure vessels, which eliminates conventional CAES’ need for suitable geological formations to store air.
