Technical FAQs 3

What is compressed air energy storage (CAES)?

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) offers potential, but faces challenges including poor efficiency and reliance on fossil fuels. In this context, the EU-funded Air4NRG project aims to improve long-term energy storage. Specifically, it targets over 70 % round-trip efficiency, sustainability, and integration with the grid.

Is compressed air energy storage a viable solution?

Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) has been a valid possible solution for decades. However, its poor energy efficiency, the need for fossil fuels to regenerate electricity, and the use of underground cavities as storage reservoirs have limited its development and use.

What is isothermal compressed air energy storage (isothermal-CAES)?

Air4NRG will develop an Isothermal Compressed Air Energy Storage (Isothermal-CAES) system relying, among other things, on isothermal compression and expansion of air by liquid piston to solve the problems of the former CAES.
