Highview Power has secured a £300 million investment to build the UK''s first commercial-scale liquid air energy storage (LAES) plant. This funding comes from the UK Infrastructure Bank, Centrica and a consortium of investors including Rio Tinto, Goldman Sachs, KIRKBI and Mosaic Capital.
Its proprietary technology uses liquid air as the storage medium and can deliver anywhere from 20 MW/100 MWh to more than 200 MW/2 GWh of energy and has a lifespan over 30 years.
"In 2022, we will be building 20 [liquid-air storage] plants of 100MW each," says Cavada. "We will be the biggest energy-storage company on the planet, that''s for sure." How it works and what it can do Highview''s technology is surprisingly straightforward.
Offering up to 10 hours of storage using Highview Power''s CRYOBattery technology, the system would represent investment of about US$150 million and would be placed in the city of Diego de Almagro. The CRYOBattery works by cooling ambient air until it liquifies at -196 °C (-320 ˚F).
