Sector: Water Supply and Storage • Location: Christine, Texas, United States
Source: The New York Times
A unique industrial battery system using water pressure and hydraulic fracturing techniques to store energy deep underground and release it to generate electricity. The system is a geopressured geothermal well drilled near a coal-fired power plant outside Christine, Texas, using oil-and-gas drilling expertise. It can discharge about three megawatts of electricity and aims to provide longer-duratio

Description
Description | A unique industrial battery system using water pressure and hydraulic fracturing techniques to store energy deep underground and release it to generate electricity. The system is a geopressured geothermal well drilled near a coal-fired power plant outside Christine, Texas, using oil-and-gas drilling expertise. It can discharge about three megawatts of electricity and aims to provide longer-duration energy storage compared to lithium-ion batteries. |
