  • Sustainable Storage for the Renewable Energy System of the Future
    Press Release 22 January 2021 “Underground Sun Conversion – Flexible Storage”: sustainable storage for the renewable energy system of the future From December 2020, the “Underground Sun Conversion – Flexible Storage” (USC- FlexStore) project will investigate seasonal storage of large quantities of renewable energy to be made available year round. This innovative international project is aimed at developing a seasonal, high-volume transformation and storage solution for erratic renewable generation. Energy will be stored safely in gaseous form in underground facilities at depths of over 1,000m. The aim of the project is to take RAG Austria AG’s patented “Underground Sun Conversion” (USC) technology (which involves methanation of CO2 and green H2) to the next level, and to design services based on it. Field tests will be carried out at RAG’s research facility in Pilsbach (Upper Austria). In collaboration with Swiss energy supplier Energie 360° and research partners (Wiva, BOKU Vienna, Empa, University of Bern, OST) working on this multi-disciplinary, transnational project, know-how and specific capabilities will be bundled. The research will focus on devising solutions to one of the biggest challenges facing the energy system of tomorrow: how to expand fluctuating generation of renewables such as wind and solar power while at the same time maintaining high levels of security of supply, especially in winter, when the possibility of generating power is low and demand is high? Investigations will centre on the technological, commercial, energy-sector and legal requirements for a cross-sector approach that can reduce the current need for substantial imports and use of fossil energy in winter, when demand is stronger.
