A reservoir made in a porous and permeable underground formation can be used to store Natural Gas, CO 2, Air, Hydrogen or even Thermal Energy. Storage of an energy carrying fluid requires a phase of compression and injection in gaseous state into the reservoir: the free-phase gas pushes the formation water away from the injection wells.
The underground reservoirs for large scale energy storage are described. An extensive review of the criteria for site screening underground reservoirs is done. Large-scale underground energy storage technologies and reservoir types are matched. General criteria to all reservoir types are assessed.
You have full access to this open access article Utilizing energy storage in depleted oil and gas reservoirs can improve productivity while reducing power costs and is one of the best ways to achieve synergistic development of "Carbon Peak–Carbon Neutral" and "Underground Resource Utilization".
They also intend to effect the potential advancements in storage of energy by advancing energy sources. Renewable energy integration and decarbonization of world energy systems are made possible by the use of energy storage technologies.
Potential storage reservoir sites in the geological underground mainly comprise salt caverns, saline aquifers, depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and rock caverns. Adapted from . Essentially, a geological reservoir is prepared prior to injection, to effectively create an underground, pressurised storage container.
