A reservoir made in a porous and permeable underground formation can be used to store Natural Gas, CO 2, Air, Hydrogen or even Thermal Energy. Storage of an energy carrying fluid requires a phase of compression and injection in gaseous state into the reservoir: the free-phase gas pushes the formation water away from the injection wells.
Electric energy storage technologies, involving the use of geological reservoirs offer large storage capacities and discharge rates , bringing all the advantages of a large-scale energy storage system while minimising environmental and social impacts, and the need for surface space. 3.
