The presentation introduces AEROLYSER technology, a green production initiative in Germany with global aspirations. The startup comprises eight seasoned professionals and holds patents across Europe and beyond. AEROLYSER combines liquid air storage with an electrolyser to offer a sustainable alternative to batteries using common materials like steel, aluminum, and copper. This integration enhances efficiency through site-specific synergies by storing surplus renewable energy as liquid air instead of traditional battery methods for continuous operation. Liquid air is pivotal alongside hydrogen within the system; it stores excess power from renewables economically while waste heat aids pre-cooling processes without extra cooling systems—producing valuable byproducts such as liquid nitrogen. Core components include charging units, liquefied air tanks (post-CO2 filtration), compressors generating electricity via turbines—all enhancing efficacy while capturing CO2 for potential methanol applications. This approach highlights benefits over conventional batteries: lower costs (~40% less), longer lifespan (30 years vs 15 years), flexible capacity expansion at low cost during surpluses beyond typical cycles—even supporting operations amid prolonged sunlight absences ("Dunkelflaute"). Feasibility studies are underway with industry partners seeking investment support for pilot projects integrating these technologies cohesively at single locations—a significant step forward in advancing hydrogen and energy storage solutions acknowledged by Prof. Dr. Florian Schwarz's commendation of ongoing efforts.
