What is coal underground thermal energy storage?
Coal underground thermal energy storage (CUTES) is a form of energy storage that makes extensive use of the underground highways in closed mines as a place to store energy and to offer heating and cooling in the winter and summer months, respectively.
Could old mine shafts be the solution to energy storage?
While batteries are an effective solution for daily energy storage, we still lack a cost-effective solution for storage over longer periods. But now, researchers at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) think they’ve found one in the form of old mine shafts. All that’s needed is 40 million tonnes of sand.
