4 FAQs about Southern europe air energy storage project

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.

How will air4nrg revolutionise energy storage?

Air4NRG aims to revolutionise energy storage by leveraging isothermal compression-expansion technology. The project will provide robust, safe, and scalable energy storage solutions, using local materials to promote European industrial leadership and reduce dependency on imported resources.

Where can compressed air be stored in Europe?

According to Zaversky, there are several sites in Europe where this concept could operate, especially in southern European countries such as France, Greece, Italy and Spain. “The Greek islands are particularly favourable, because they have high solar energy available and there are locations where compressed air could be stored underground.”

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.
