Energy Storage Is Going Underground
If you say energy storage today, most people think you are talking about batteries. The intermittency of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind means sometimes there is more electricity available than is needed. Batteries can take that excess electricity and store it until such time as it can … [continued]

New UK Energy Storage Idea Is As Dumb As A Box Of Rocks
Researchers in the UK claim injecting high pressure air into the porous sandstone beneath the North Sea could store enough energy to meet all the country’s energy needs during the winter. It might be the ideal way to store energy from offshore wind turbines.
Hydrostor Touts Compressed Air Energy Storage Systems (w/Video)
Hydrostor, a Canadian company, says it has developed a new compressed air energy storage system that is half the cost of grid-scale batteries and equal to the cost of a new natural gas powered generating plant.
Compressed Air Energy Storage In The Northwest — Enough Wind Energy To Power 85,000 Homes…
Around 85,000 households in the Northwest could be powered every month by the energy that could be stored deep underground in the region’s porous rock, according to new research. By utilizing such an energy storage solution, the region’s substantial wind energy resources could be put to full use. The work, … [continued]
