The maximum storage potential ranges from 178 to 155 TWh t, respectively. In the case of the largest analyzed salt dome, where
Stability evaluation of the underground gas storage in rock salts based on new partitions of the surrounding rock | Environmental Earth Sciences
Due to the rheology, low permeability, and damage recovery of rock salts, the salt caverns have been widely used for natural gas and compressed air energy storage (Yang et al. 1999). The salt caverns have been used for gas storage for several decades in Europe and America (Bauer et al. 2013 ; Brown et al. 2014 ; Dethlefsen et al. 2014 ).
Numerical Assessment of the Geothermal and Thermal Energy Storage Potential of the Underground
Flooded mines constitute groundwater reservoirs that can be exploited with geothermal heat pump systems. Modelling such a reservoir is challenging because groundwater flow and heat transport equations need to be solved within the complex geometry of mine workings. To address this challenge, we developed a tridimensional
Tightness of an underground energy storage salt cavern with adverse geological conditions
Accurately determining the permeability of rock salt is a critical issue for the tightness assessments of salt caverns used for energy storage, which is also a hot topic in underground energy storage. Stormont [18] found that the permeability of the rock salt disturbed by cavern construction is about 10–10 5 times that of the non-disturbed areas.
Characterizing Hydrogen Storage Potential in U.S.

Underground Thermal Energy Storage
Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) is a form of STES useful for long-term purposes owing to its high storage capacity and low cost (IEA I. E. A., 2018 ). UTES effectively stores the thermal energy of hot and cold seasons, solar energy, or waste heat of industrial processes for a relatively long time and seasonally ( Lee, 2012 ).
