1. Introduction To combat global warming, China is actively optimizing the energy supply and consumption structure and promoting the implementation of the "double carbon" strategy [1], and the share of renewable energy generation in total power generation will reach 29.8 % by the end of 2021 [2], There is an urgent need to develop
Energy storage systems are required to increase the share of renewable energy. Closed mines can be used for underground energy storage and geothermal generation. Underground closed mines can be used as lower water reservoir for UPHES. CAES systems store energy in the form of compressed air in an underground reservoir.

Turning abandoned mines into energy storage is one example of many solutions that exist around us, and we only need to change the way we deploy them," study co-author Behnam Zakeri said. A novel
Among the areas evaluated, this work proposes the use of abandoned coal mine galleries as pumped hydro storage reservoirs. Worldwide, some 61,600 sites have been identified as potential closed-cycle pumped hydro power plants. These sites could potentially supply a storage capacity of around 23,000 TWh.
Underground energy storage gives end-of-life mine shafts, which otherwise face costly infilling and decommissioning costs, a second life.
Spain will fade out in 2018 (EU 2010/787/UE). The network of tunnels in closed-down mines has been. suggested as a possible lower storage for the development of an underground pumped-storage
The 300 portfolio companies are on track to generate €72.8 billion in revenue and save 1.1G tons of CO2e annually by 2030. EIT InnoEnergy is the driving
There is an international trend to repurpose mines for energy storage with projects being undertaken in Europe, North America and Australia. China currently has 50 GW of pumped energy storage and
The quest for carbon neutrality raises challenges in most sectors. In coal mining, overcapacity cutting is the major concern at this time, and the increase in the number of abandoned mine shafts is a pervasive issue. Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) plants built in abandoned mine shafts can convert intermittent electricity into useful
