INOX India Ltd (INOXCVA), a leader in cryogenic technology solutions, has secured a landmark contract from Highview Power, UK, to supply cutting-edge cryogenic tanks for the world’s largest Liquid Air Energy Storage (LAES) project in Carrington, Manchester. This project will utilize liquid air storage to create a sustainable, long-duration energy storage solution. INOX India will deliver five 690-kiloliter vertical, high-pressure EN design vacuum-insulated cryogenic tanks, marking the largest such tanks the company has ever fabricated and the first time cryogenic tanks are being deployed at this scale for clean energy storage.
