Inventory of underground energy storage sites in California. Final staff report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5555195
Compressed air and pumped hydropower, heat from solar thermal systems, and natural gas and petroleum products can be stored underground. Gas fields, oil fields, saline aquifers, hard rock sites, caves and abandoned mines with minimum storage volumes of five million cubic feet and maximum depths of 3,500 feet are identified as potential energy storage sites. Data collected on compressed air energy storage sites in California is included and supplemented by information on California oil and gas fields. The information given for each site includes: the site name, location, depth to storage medium, volume, rock type, rock thickness, permeability, porosity, pressure containment capacity, and distance to transmission facilities, pipelines and geologic hazards.
