CLEAN, COST-EFFICIENT, FLEXIBLE AND RELIABLE
Sumitomo Heavy Industries (SHI) and Highview Power Partner to Expand Liquid AIr Long-Duration Energy Storage Globally
Liquid Air Energy Storage technology makes use of a freely available resource— air—which is cooled and stored as a liquid and then converted back into a pressurized gas which drives turbines to produce electricity. Just as pumped-hydro harnesses the power of water, the CRYOBattery unleashes the power of air. It is the only long-duration energy storage solution available today that offers multiple gigawatt hours of storage, is scalable with no size limitations or geographic constraints, and produces zero emissions. Liquid air energy storage systems are a cost-competitive clean energy storage solution for large scale, long-duration applications.
We believe energy storage technology is the game changer that can truly unlock the full potential of renewable energy by making renewable energy as dependable and affordable as conventional power. Our partnership with Highview Power will allow us to bring gigawatthours of energy storage to the market with the full flexibility to be built practically anywhere it is needed.
Sumitomo SHI FW will lead the liquid air energy storage business within Sumitomo Heavy Industries, applying our technology development, engineering and global project delivery capability, to help our customers transform the world’s energy infrastructure toward a clean and sustainable energy future.
