“Liquid Air” Energy Storage Could Save The Day for Offshore Wind Industry
The leading offshore wind stakeholder Ørsted is betting on “liquid air” long duration energy storage to build the business case for wind.
Energy Storage Is Going Underground
If you say energy storage today, most people think you are talking about batteries. The intermittency of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind means sometimes there is more electricity available than is needed. Batteries can take that excess electricity and store it until such time as it can … [continued]
