    NEW YORK, NY, May 09, 2020 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Highview Power Storage, Inc., a global leader in long-duration energy storage solutions, is pleased to announce that it has received an honorable mention in the Energy category of Fast Company's 2020 World Changing Ideas for its CRYOBattery™, a long-duration energy storage technology based on the principle of air liquefaction. Through this award, Fast Company honors businesses, policies, projects, and concepts that are actively engaged and deeply committed to flattening the curve when it comes to the climate crisis, social injustice, or economic inequality.
