Liquid air: A cool option for energy storage?

Envirotec Magazine

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.
