Welcome to CleanTech Geomechanics
Innovative Technologies for geo-Energy Storage Systems (geo-ESS)
CWCAS Advantages
- Versatile energy storage that is easily scalable, site independent and cost-effective.
- CWCAS can rapidly increase the amount of reliable renewable energy in electricity supply systems.
- Storage of off-peak, excess, or irregular power from renewable energy sources - to reduce congestion and curtailment.
- Designed for grid, off-grid and behind-the-meter applications.
- CWCAS is not site-specific; it can be utilized anywhere, including near existing transmission infrastructure.
- CWCAS Integrates easily with solar and wind farms.
- Low environmental footprint compared to other energy storage technologies, such as batteries and pumped hydro storage.
- CWCAS is safe and has a long life-cycle (20 – 25 years).
- Mobilization, installation, and commissioning times of a CWCAS facility are relatively short and cost-effective.
- CWCAS geo-ESS is a viable alternative to large-scale battery ESS.
