New research finds liquid air energy storage could be the lowest-cost option for ensuring a continuous power supply on a future grid dominated by carbon-free but intermittent sources of electricity. . Determining the NPV of liquid air storage therefore requires predicting how that technology will fare in future markets competing with other sources of electricity when demand exceeds supply — and also accounting for prices when supply exceeds demand, so excess electricity is available to recharge. . Researchers from MIT and Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) find that liquid air energy storage (LAES) represents a promising solution for long-duration storage in grid environments on a decarbonised power network. LAES harnesses a freely available resource—air, to provide a reliable, flexible, and sustainabl produces zero emissions. As the world moves to reduce carbon emissions, solar and wind power will play an increasing role on. .
