Scheme of the CCES with low-pressure stores studied by XSun et al. . The best RTE and η ex are obtained by CCES storing CO 2 in a gas state at low pressure [66, 78, 79]. In particular, the AA-CCES examined by Astolfi et al. which is a CCES proposed by an Italian company specialized in this system.

The use of aboveground tanks limits CCES to smaller storage volumes. Consequently, liquid storage appears as a promising solution. There is a major change with aboveground CCES storing CO 2 below ambient temperature: the need for a cold thermal storage.
It is the case for CCES with a low-pressure storage superior to 60 bar or with a gaseous storage. The CCES of Guo et al. with a gaseous low-pressure storage considered also 6 × 2 tanks to store thermal energy to limit the exergy losses due to thermal exchanges.
