Highview Power is a long-duration[2] energy storage pioneer, specialising in cryogenic energy storage. It is based in the United Kingdom , and formerly the United States . It has permission for a commercial-scale 50 Megawatt/250 Megawatt-hour plant in England,[3][4] building upon its earlier 5 Megawatt[1] and 350 Kilowatt pilot[5] plants. It had plans to develop a 50MW plant/400MWh (eight hours of storage) in Vermont.[6][7]

It has over 30 patents[1] developed in partnership with British universities and has won technology funding from the British Government.[8]

In February 2020 Sumitomo Heavy Industries invested $46m in the company.[9][10][11]

in September 2021, it was announced that Adrian Katzew would become the new CEO,[12] though this didn't come to pass.

In 2022, it closed its offices in the United States.[13]

Technology

Its CRYOBattery™ technology[14] uses low-cost electricity to cool air to -196 °C, reducing it to a liquid 1/700th the volume.[15] At times of high demand for electricity, when prices are typically high, the liquid is expanded through a turbine to generate electricity, free of combustion and the resultant emissions.[4] The process can utilise waste heat[16] and waste cold[17] to boost efficiency. The system utilises standard equipment from sectors like Liquified Natural Gas and, unlike short-duration energy storage technologies (like thermochemical batteries), doesn't require mining for, or complex recycling of, rare minerals.[18]
