OverviewEnvironmental ImpactTypesCompressors and expandersStorageHistoryProjectsStorage thermodynamics
CAES systems are often considered an environmentally friendly alternative to other large-scale energy storage technologies due to their reliance on naturally occurring resources, such as salt caverns for air storage and ambient air as the working medium. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which require the extraction of finite resources such as lithium and cobalt, CAES has a minimal environmental footprint during its lifecycle.

Compressed-air energy storage can also be employed on a smaller scale, such as exploited by air cars and air-driven locomotives, and can use high-strength (e.g., carbon-fiber) air-storage tanks.
