1959. 23. The utilization of groundwater from abandoned mine workings for heating and cooling of buildings and industrial processes started in Canada in 1989 when the Town of Springhill created an industrial park where companies could tap into the geothermal energy supply from the local abandoned coal mines. The mines are estimated to have an ...

Our new research identified more than 900 suitable locations around the world: at former and existing mining sites. Some 37 sites are in Australia. Huge open-cut mining pits would be turned into reservoirs to hold water for renewable energy storage. It would give the sites a new lease on life and help shore up the world''s low-emissions future.

A deeper mine would not only produce and store more energy, but would also be more cost effective. Energy storage costs vary from $1 to $10 per kilowatt-hour for UGES, the authors calculate, downright cheap compared to lithium-ion batteries, which currently cost about $150/kWh. Battery prices continue to fall as chemistries improve, …
