When ambient or low grade waste heat is reintroduced to liquid air it boils and turns back into a gas, expanding 710 times in volume. It also exhausts lots of cold, making it highly relevant for processes which require power and cooling. This process can be driven by renewable or off-peak energy. This can be used to drive an engine.
