In recent years, liquid air energy storage (LAES) has gained prominence as an alternative to existing large-scale electrical energy storage solutions such as compressed air (CAES) and pumped hydro energy storage
LAES, or Liquid Air Energy Storage, functions by storing energy in the form of thermal energy within highly cooled liquid air. On the other hand, CAES, or Compressed Air Energy Storage, stores energy as
The air is then cleaned and cooled to sub-zero temperatures until it liquifies. 700 liters of ambient air become 1 liter of liquid air. Stage 2. Energy store. The liquid air is stored in insulated tanks
The liquid storage scheme has been reported in the open literature, however, the brief compression/expansion lines and limited system efficiency (50–60 %) brings dark clouds
When extracting energy, (i) the chamber is filled with water; (ii) some amount of compressed air is injected from the storage vessel to chamber; (iii) air valve closes and the compressed air

In recent years, liquid air energy storage (LAES) has gained prominence as an alternative to existing large-scale electrical energy storage solutions such as compressed air (CAES) and pumped hydro energy storage (PHES), especially in the context of medium-to-long-term storage.
Additionally, they require large-scale heat accumulators. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) and Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) are innovative technologies that utilize air for efficient energy storage. CAES stores energy by compressing air, whereas LAES technology stores energy in the form of liquid air.
Compressed air energy storage (CAES) is a promising energy storage technology due to its cleanness, high efficiency, low cost, and long service life. This paper surveys state-of-the-art technologies of CAES, and makes endeavors to demonstrate the fundamental principles, classifications and operation modes of CAES.
The liquid air storage system is detailed in Section 2.2. Thermal energy storage systems are categorized based on storage temperature into heat storage and cold storage. Heat storage is employed for storing thermal energy above ambient temperature, while cold storage is used for storing thermal energy below ambient temperature.
A novel liquid air energy storage (LAES) system using packed beds for thermal storage was investigated and analyzed by Peng et al. . A mathematical model was developed to explore the impact of various parameters on the performance of the system.
Researchers can contribute to advancing LAES as a viable large-scale energy storage solution, supporting the transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure by pursuing these avenues. 6. Conclusion For the transportation and energy sectors, liquid air offers a viable carbon-neutral alternative.
