Liquid Air Energy Systems

Creating clean energy out of thin air. Zero emission power generation for peak shaving and to supplement intermittent output from renewables.

The Most Reliable Large Scale, Long Term Energy Storage Solution

LAES uses no rare earth materials with commercial off the shelf equipment with millions of hours proven reliability.

How it works

Air is liquefied by refrigerating it to -196°C
It is stored in cryogenic tanks as a dense liquid
Liquid air is vaporized back to gas on demand

The energy released during the vaporization process is used to drive turbines that generate electricity.

Specialty brazed aluminum plate fin heat exchangers are at the heart of liquefaction processes. Chart technology reduces the number of units and piping, which reduces overall project cost complexity, risk and schedule.
