6 FAQs about [Significance energy storage mine project]
Should energy storage be a key issue in mining?
The second place that energy storage emerged as a key issue was less expected: in their vision of “smart” and “sustainable” mines, mining companies see advanced energy storage as a key component of the so-called “future of mining” and their vision of the “mine of the future”.
Can underground space energy storage technology be used in abandoned coal mines?
The underground space resources of abandoned coal mines in China are quite abundant, and the research and development of underground space energy storage technology in coal mines have many benefits.
Why is energy storage a challenge in the mining industry?
The challenge, however, is that the mining industry requires an immense amount of energy storage capacity and for much longer time periods than much of the current battery technology can provide. “We are hoping that as the technology grows, [the storage capacity and duration] will increase.”
Can energy storage be a source of untapped financial value for mining companies?
In the first two modalities of decarbonisation, energy storage becomes a source of untapped financial value for mining companies. As demand for renewable energy generation and storage grows, the demand for products that only mining companies can produce also grows, from lithium and cobalt and manganese to copper and aluminium.
What are the advantages of underground energy storage?
The underground area of the coal mine has reached about 400 km 2, which can accommodate a large number of energy storage equipment and storage media. (2) High utilization rate of underground space: underground energy storage can use underground space, does not occupy surface space, and will not cause too much impact on land use.
Can open pit mines be transformed into energy storage facilities?
The project overview for the Genex/ARENA pumped hydro project in Queensland noted that there were in fact numerous defunct open pit mines in the region that could be transformed into energy generation and storage facilities. These distinctions are not rigid.
