The global liquid air energy storage market is primarily driven by its low operating and capital costs. Liquid air energy storage is a high-grade cold store technology that makes use of low-pressure devices and granite shingles (a cost effective and widely available material), which helps in reducing the overall cost of maintenance and offers long life. It also uses a discharge device that comprises a standard gearbox, which helps in cost reduction. Moreover, the governments of different countries are offering their support to promote the advancement and implantation of this technology. The government of U.K. is supporting companies such as Highview Power and Viridor and has invested in several projects to drive the research, development, and commercialization of liquid air energy storage.

In 2019, the 5-15 MW capacity segment in liquid air energy storage market by capacity accounted for the largest share of 38.08%, owing to the growing deployment and installation of capacities across the globe. For instance, in 2018, SNC-Lavalin (Canada) and Highview Power partnered for the deployment of energy storage solutions of liquid air energy storage for utility-scale applications. Moreover, in 2018, Highview Power launched a grid-scale liquid air energy storage plant with the capacity of 5-MW/15-MWh. Thus, the growing deployment of capacities is expected to drive the segment across the globe.

At the same time, the 50-100 MW capacity segment is projected to be the fastest-growing category in the liquid air energy storage market by capacity with a CAGR of 41.82% during the forecasted period, 2023-2026. Liquid air energy storage systems can help in reducing the energy storage cost and also have the ability to store a large amount of energy in the form of liquid. For instance, in 2017, dynamic modeling of 100 MW liquid air energy storage power plant was carried out with a storage capacity of 300MWh. This dynamic modeling adopted COMSOL, EES software, and MATLAB to carry out modeling of different parts of the process to increase the system-level efficiency. Companies such as Linde AG, Messer Group, Mitsubishi, Highview, etc. are investing huge capital in commercializing storage units with large capacities. For instance, Highview Power, etc. are planning to develop and expand their liquid air energy storage capacity above 20 MW, such as 50MW/200MWh unit, etc. in the future.

Conversely, some of the factors hindering the LAES market growth are difficulties while implementation of LAES on a large scale, shortage of labor, land constraints, high costs associated with LAES systems, and presence of pumped hydro storage & other alternative technologies. The global liquid air energy storage market growth is primarily restricted by the presence of hydro pump storage as alternative technology. According to the DiVA portal organization, round trip efficiency of LAES is about 50% in cases where very effective cold and heat mechanism is used, and about 20% round trip efficiency when cold and head storage are depleted. This round-trip efficiency is very low as compared to pumped hydro and chemical storage in large scale energy storage. Furthermore, pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is best for large scale energy storage systems. Also, PHES has the largest capacity of storage highest efficiency as compared to all other energy storage technologies.

Europe captured the largest market share of 62.05% in terms of revenue for the liquid air energy storage market in 2019. The UK, Germany, and France are the lucrative investment destinations considering the Europe liquid air energy storage market. The dominance of Europe is attributed to various facts that include investments in LAES, a supportive government stance towards LAES, a focus on renewable energy generation, and initiatives by the key players. For instance, in 2017, Highview Power Storage (UK) received funding worth $xx million from Innovate UK for the enhancement of its pilot hybrid liquid air energy storage technology. In addition, Highview Power Storage launched the world’s maiden grid-scale liquid air energy storage at the UK in 2018. This plant has been built in partnership with Viridor (UK) with a funding of $XX million (£8 million). Furthermore, according to Exit Nuclear Network (Réseau Sortir du nucléaire), EDF (French state-owned utility) has planned to invest around $XX billion in energy storage by 2035. The presence of key players such as Highview Power Storage (UK), GE Oil & Gas (UK), Heatric (UK), Linde Group (Germany), etc. and their inclination towards the development of LAES provide traction to the Europe liquid air energy storage market.

Some of the renowned players of the global liquid air energy storage market are:

  • Highview Power
  • Baker Hughes Company
  • Heatric
  • Linde Kryotechnik AG
  • Viridor Limited
  • Others

Key strategies adopted by some of the liquid air energy storage companies are:

In February 2020, Highview Power, entered into a partnership with Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. And received a funding of $46 million to expand cryogenic energy storage projects. In September 2018, Viridor was awarded a 2-year waste management contract by Safestore, the largest self-storage provider in the UK. In June 2018, Highview Power signed a partnership with Viridor, a recycling and renewable energy company that launched grid-scale liquid air energy storage (LAES) plant located at Bury, near Manchester, UK.

Key findings of the global liquid air energy storage (LAES) market are:

  • The power generation segment accounted for the largest revenue share in terms of the LAES market by application in 2019.
