Compressed Air Can Compete and Thrive in Lithium Age: Q&A
3 Mar, 2020
Our CEO, Curtis VanWalleghem discusses the limitations of lithium-ion batteries in long-term energy storage and advocates for alternative technologies like compressed air storage.
Our system compresses and stores air in underground caverns, offering a more cost-effective and scalable solution.
The company’s focus is on replacing coal or gas infrastructure, optimizing renewable energy mix, and providing peaking capacity in urban areas.
Despite challenges, compressed air storage presents advantages over lithium-ion batteries in terms of cost, efficiency, and safety concerns.
With projects underway in Canada, the US, Chile, and Australia, we aim to revolutionize the energy storage landscape.
