AirBattery: Modular CAES for Grid Resilience
As lithium-ion batteries degrade and diesel peakers fail net-zero tests, a new class of energy storage is rising — one that spins like a generator, lasts for decades, and uses nothing more exotic than air. Tree’s AirBattery is a containerized, utility-scale CAES system delivering real inertia, black-start capability, and long-duration flexibility — without fire risk, toxic materials, or costly degradation.
This executive report reveals:
Why low-inertia grids are failing faster, and how mechanical storage buys time.
The hidden lifecycle costs of battery storage — and why round-trip efficiency isn’t everything.
How AirBattery outperforms diesel on response time, safety, and lifetime cost.

Tree AirBattery: Modular CAES for Sustainable Mining
Mining operations face steep energy costs and reliability risks. Energy can account for roughly 30% of a mine’s operating expenses, and off-grid power can cost up to $300/MWh. Traditionally this demand is met with diesel generators, which are expensive to run and maintain, expose mines to fuel-price volatility and carbon taxes, and generate significant emissions. Batteries (lithium-ion) offer emissions savings but carry safety and lifecycle downsides: they degrade over years and can ignite, releasing toxic smoke in confined spaces.
Data Centre Efficiency
Cooling systems alone account for up to 40% of a data centre's electricity usage. With millions of kilowatt-hours consumed annually to prevent servers from overheating, the cost of keeping data centres cool is both financially and environmentally significant.
Supermarket Efficiency with Tree Associates’ Advanced Refrigeration Technology
Supermarkets are among the most energy-intensive commercial spaces, with refrigeration systems consuming up to 40% of total electricity usage. From keeping fresh produce crisp to maintaining frozen goods at optimal temperatures, refrigeration is critical to daily operations.
