A method and system of energy storage in which energy is stored in the compression of a metastable degenerate Fermi electron gas contained in a compressed metallic base material such as lithium in a high pressure cell which is subjected to a magnetic field to further compress the metastable degenerate Fermi electron gas. In operation, heat energy is introduced to increase the energy of the compressed metastable degenerate Fermi electron gas which causes the magnetic field associated therewith to increase to further compress the metastable degenerate Fermi electron gas, which causes the heat to be absorbed and results in a decrease in the temperature thereof. Energy can be withdrawn from the system by allowing the metastable degenerate Fermi electron gas to expand against the compressing magnetic field. The lithium is precompressed prior to cryogenic cooling thereof Cryogenic cooling of unpressurized lithium causes it to go from a BCC (Body Centered Cubic) crystalline structural state to a 9R /Hex crystalline structural state, while normally developing fissures because of the size difference between those two structural states. To prevent this, the present invention precompresses the lithium, to provide an allowance for the volume of a metastable Fermi electron gas bubble to be created later.
