Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) uses electricity to cool air until it liquefies, so it can be stored until an opportune moment arrives when it can be brought back to a gaseous state and used for power generation. This is achieved by compressing the air to form a high-pressure gas, the air is then cooled by heat exchange with a cold fluid.
