Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) | MAN Energy Solutions
Liquid air energy storage (LAES) gives operators an economical, long-term storage solution for excess and off-peak energy. LAES plants can provide large-scale, long-term energy storage with hundreds of megawatts of output. Ideally, plants can use industrial waste heat or cold from applications to further improve the efficiency of the system.

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.
