The world’s largest demonstration plant for a new kind of renewable energy storage is up and running in the west of the China. Called liquid-air energy storage (LAES) the plant uses renewable electricity to compress air to extreme densities until it turns to liquid. It can then be rapidly released to power a turbine and discharge that green energy back into the grid.
It’s remote and it sounds like they’re not messing with separating the gas which costs more and needs more equipment and storage.
You are right but the article was wrong on the low temperature and “liquid air” point.
To know more i read a little bit here :

it shows my comment was right as well.
No, the entire point is that it’s a new liquid process type, not the traditional compressed only. That’s the news.
