Here at IJGlobal we love to bring you podcasts on the most interesting developments on technology and innovation across the panoply of infrastructure assets classes – and this one’s a cracker.

Well, to be fair, it’s not an actual “cracker”, this is an interview with Richard Butland, co-founder and chief executive of Highview Power, where we are discussing the UK’s first commercial-scale liquid air energy storage plant in Carrington, Manchester.

Having this summer concluded the financing of its demonstrator in the north of England and with plans for another one in the UK progressing nicely, Highview has big plans... on an international level.

Tune in for the latest Infra Dig podcast on an exciting energy storage innovation that's been a long time in the brewing, but is now going places.
