Compressed-air-energy storage (CAES) is a way to store energy for later use using compressed air. At a utility scale, energy generated during periods of low demand can be released during peak load periods. The first utility-scale CAES project was in the Huntorf power plant in Elsfleth, Germany, and is still operational as of 2024 . The Huntorf plant was initially de

Using air and water to create a clean and efficient energy storage

Green-Y, a Swiss start-up founded in 2020, has developed a compressed air power storage unit that can heat and cool, combining the functions of a battery and a heat

Compressed Air Storage · Swiss Energy Storage Overview by

Storing high pressure air at over 500 °C is technically difficult for a number of reasons and not very efficient. Therefore the air is usually cooled down before storing it in underground
