Underground Energy Storage
As the world generates more electricity from intermittent renewable energy sources, there is a growing need for technologies which can capture and store energy during periods of low demand and release it rapidly when required. At Gravitricity we are developing long-life, below-ground technologies which store energy safely and deliver it on demand at a lower lifetime cost than current alternatives. Our gravity and hydrogen storage technologies each offer unique attributes, ideally suited to the fast-evolving energy markets of tomorrow.
Gravity storage
Our underground gravity storage technology uses the power of gravity to offer some of the best characteristics of lithium batteries and pumped hydro storage. Ideally suited to network-constrained users and operators, distribution networks and major power users, our technology operates in the 1MW to 20 MW power range and enables existing grid infrastructure to go further in a renewable energy world. 50 year design life, Fast response time, Versatile operation, Cost effective
Hydrogen Storage
Our underground hydrogen storage technology uses the geology of the earth to safely store large volumes of green hydrogen. Purpose-built shafts can be built wherever required to offer long-term storage close to the point of demand. Storing hydrogen in underground shafts is intrinsically safer and less obtrusive than above-ground options and is a solution that does not require unique geology such as salt caverns. Safe, Flexible capacity, Lower costs, Location flexibility.
