Abstract
Cryogenically cooled and liquified energy gases are stored at substantial depth offshore in an insulated container normally resting on the seabed. Piston action of the container promotes liquid state of the liquified gases by transfer thereto of controlled pressure derived totally or in part from the ambient deep seawater.
