Deep-Borehole Energy Storage

Grid-scale storage using deep shafts and gravity.
Deep-Borehole Energy Storage

Ultra-long-duration energy storage systems that raise and lower heavy masses or circulate fluids within kilometer-scale boreholes to store excess renewable energy. These installations harden the grid against prolonged blackouts, seasonal variability, and geomagnetic disturbances.
