Storing energy in geologic rock deep underground, such as by porous media compressed air energy storage (PM-CAES) and by underground hydrogen storage (UHS), offers enormous opportunities to expand utilization of alternative energy sources that can be stored seasonally.

However, electricity networks with higher output capacity will require an improved energy storage system. Though batteries, compressed air, capacitors, or flywheels
The EERC is a world leader in dedicated storage projects, having led the detailed site characterization, laboratory analyses, modeling, simulation, and permitting work for the Red Trail Energy ethanol plant and two additional permitted
Calculating CO2 storage potential is an important step in selecting target areas for CO2 storage, which is a crucial aspect of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) source–sink matching. At present, a
Geological H2 storage plays a central role to enable the successful transition to the renewable H2 economy and achieve net-zero emission in the atmosphere. Depleted oil and gas reservoirs are already
Geothermal energy is a significant source of renewable electric power in the western United States. With advances in exploration and development of technologies, it could even be a potential source of electric power for the entire
A rock can release chemical energy, store thermal energy, or extract geothermal, all of which have the potential to be important factors in the transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.
The increasing share of renewable energy sources, e.g. solar and wind, in global electricity generation defines the need for effective and flexible energy storage solutions.
Large-scale underground storage of hydrogen gas is expected to play a key role in the energy transition and in near future renewable energy systems. Despite this potential, experience in underground hydrogen storage
It is difficult to characterize one area as "the best" for carbon sequestration because the answer depends on the question: best for what? However, the area of the assessment with the most storage potential for carbon dioxide is the
We then discuss, in turn, different areas in which the geosciences will, both directly and indirectly, play a key role in the energy transition—whether in the sustainable sourcing of raw materials extracted with a lower environmental
Geothermal Basics Geothermal Energy Geothermal energy is heat energy from the earth—geo (earth) + thermal (heat). Geothermal resources are reservoirs of hot water that exist or are human-made at varying temperatures and depths
The Concept of Geologic Carbon Sequestration Geologic carbon sequestration is a method of securing carbon dioxide (CO 2) in deep geologic formations to prevent its release to the
Here, we propose geological thermal energy storage (GeoTES) for seasonal energy dispatching. As illustrated in Figure 1, GeoTES can take various energy sources such as solar thermal and
Geological energy storage, on the other hand, involves compressing air or other gases using surplus electricity during off-peak hours and temporarily storing them in underground reservoirs.
Welcome to the first issue of Geoenergy. This new journal, jointly supported by the Geological Society of London and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), has been launched in
