en.Wedoany.com Reported - Lointek has announced a new strategic long-duration energy storage project designed for UK-based company Highview, an energy storage and flexibility solutions provider. Lointek, headquartered in Biscay, Spain, is responsible for designing, manufacturing, and supplying the thermal system for the project. The facility utilizes liquid air energy storage technology with a storage capacity of 300 MWh and a power output of 50 MW, making it the largest project of its kind in the UK.

Company CEOs Serafín Loroño and Javier Loroño stated that participating in such a project holds special significance for Lointek, both in terms of its technical scope and its impact on the future of energy storage and renewable energy integration.

Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) technology enables long-duration storage of renewable energy by using surplus renewable energy from the grid to cool air to its liquefaction temperature. The liquid air is then expanded back into a gas through turbines to generate electricity. Liquid air can remain in a liquefied state for extended periods, providing flexibility, stability, and security to grids based on renewable energy.

LAES is an innovative technology developed by only a few companies globally with strong industrial capabilities and expertise in extreme cooling systems and liquid air storage. Lointek is positioning itself as one of the few organizations with the necessary expertise in manufacturing complex equipment for the energy sector.
