Israel-based underground compressed-air storage specialist Augwind has finalized the construction of its first compressed air storage system for commercial application. The 250 kW/1 MWh AirBattery ...

Active Power recently revealed the principles by which it has achieved extended battery-free power backup in its CleanSource XR product. The company combines two energy storage mechanisms — thermal ...

Scientists in Poland have developed a compressed air energy storage technology using a thermal energy storage (TES) system built into a disused mine shaft. The system works without external heat ...

Electricity generated by fossil fuels is increasingly unsustainable and a shift towards renewable energy – principally from the sun and wind – is vital. Renewable generation is already less expensive ...

Around 2008, a French engineer made the headlines with the idea of manufacturing a car that could run on compressed air. Guy Nègre had conceived the CAT (Compressed Air Technology) Air Car. We ...

California is set to be home to two new compressed-air energy storage facilities – each claiming the crown for the world’s largest non-hydro energy storage system. Developed by Hydrostor, the ...

Clean energy resources, such as wind and solar, hold untold promise for a more sustainable energy future, but a big problem with these and other clean energy resources is their intermittent nature: ...

It's no longer news that the growing emphasis on sustainability is leading the charge for higher efficiency. When discussing energy use in manufacturing environments, the Big Three - water, ...

Study the physics, do the math, and a 40-gallon compressed air tank pressurized to 100 psi has the explosive power of a stick of dynamite. Depending on circumstances, that’s enough to blow all four ...
