Highview Power has revealed its second planned long-duration energy storage (LDES) project using its liquid air energy storage (LAES) technology, in Scotland, UK.

Liquid air energy storage firm Highview Power has raised £300 million (US$384 million) from the UK Infrastructure Bank and utility Centrica to immediately start building its first large-scale project.

Ben Lincoln, energy expert at intellectual property law firm Potter Clarkson, looks at patent filing activity in energy storage technologies outside the world of electrochemical batteries.

The global need for grid-scale energy storage will rise rapidly in the coming years as the transition away from fossil fuels accelerates.

High cost and material availability are the main non-technical barriers to energy storage deployment at the scale needed, according to a new report from MIT.

Energy Dome has scored its first commercial licensing agreement for its carbon dioxide-based energy storage solution.

An eight-hour duration lithium-ion battery project was recently selected as a long-duration energy storage resource by a group of energy suppliers in California. Girish Balachandran, CEO of Silicon Valley Clean Energy, tells us about the deal and what it signifies.

The feasibility of building large-scale liquid air energy storage (LAES) systems in China is being assessed through a partnership between Shanghai Power Equipment Research Institute (SPERI) and Sumitomo SHI FW. 

Highview Power, currently the world’s only provider of a liquid air energy storage (LAES) technology which enables bulk, long-duration storage of energy, will get a new CEO as it targets a rollout of its systems at large-scale around the world.  

MAN Energy Solutions, a Volkswagen-owned engineering group perhaps best known for its work with diesel engines, has formally signed a deal to supply turbomachinery for Highview Power’s 50MW / 250MWh liquid air energy storage (LAES) project in the UK.
