IIASA-led study proposes Underground Gravity Energy Storage as long-term energy storage solution for renewables

Green Car Congress

Renewable energy sources are central to the energy transition toward a more sustainable future. However, because sunshine and wind are inherently variable and inconsistent, finding ways to store energy in an accessible and efficient way is crucial. An open-access paper on the work is published in the journal Energies.
