The company says this would make it the lowest-cost build-anywhere energy storage on the market. By comparison, a four-hour 100MW/400MWh lithium-ion battery system currently has an LCOS of $132-245/MWh, according to investment bank Lazard.
Long-duration energy storage market leader Highview Power offers a comparably low LCOS for its liquid-air system, which is currently about $100/MWh for a 100MW system and could fall to $50/MWh by 2030, its chief executive Javier Cavada told
Recharge in February that its thermal energy storage system would deliver power for $48-60/MWh when converting existing coal-fired power plants, but this does not apply to newbuild projects.

A synthetic material that looks identical to elephant ivory and which can be 3D printed at high resolution – dubbed ‘Digory’ for ‘digital ivory’ – has been used to restore historic artwork that included ivory made from tusks.
Researchers say it will be invaluable for restoration projects – genuine elephant ivory was often used in important artworks, especially in ancient China, for thousands of years – and that greater awareness of its use could help prevent the poaching that threatens the survival of wild elephants in many parts of the world. ‘There shouldn’t be a demand for animal-sourced ivory at all. There are so many alternatives,’ says Thaddäa Rath of the Technical University of Vienna. ‘No piece of jewelry or decoration is worth the death of a singl
