Australian Start-Up Eyes Disused Mine Shafts For Giga-Scale Gravity Energy Storage

Thye title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Renew Economy.

This is the first paragraph.

A newly launched Australian start-up has unveiled its own take on gravitational energy storage technology that will use super-heavy weights in legacy mine shafts to capture and release energy, with around 3GWh of potential storage capacity already identified for development.

Note.

1. The company is called Green Gravity.
2. I can’t find a web site.

The idea seems very much like Gravitricity.

• The energy stored seems about the same order of magnitude.
• In Disused Coal Mine Could Host Gravity Energy Storage Project, I describe how Gravitricity will be using coal mines to store energy.

Gravitricity’s ideas may be patented.
