RWE, GE, Züblin, and DLR Partner in Development of Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage

Green Car Congress

RWE, GE, Züblin, and Germany’s National Research Center for Aeronautics are cooperating in the ADELE project, which is developing large-scale adiabatic compressed air energy storage. Furthermore, the compressed air will not be heated any longer by means of natural gas—thus avoiding CO 2 emissions.
