Vienna Coal Mine Large Energy Storage Project
3 million from the Innovation Fund, ScaleUp will construct a 20 MW underground thermal energy storage system in Vienna, storing excess summer heat for use in winter. Both investments will be the first of their kind for Wien Energie, but they are vital for Wien Energie decarbonisation strategy. As bo. . Coal was once billed as the “buried sunshine” of a prehistoric past. But the world has now entered an age of solar energy — a time when harnessing the sun has become more accessible, affordable, and environmentally sustainable than digging it up in fossil fuels. Scheduled decommissioning of lignite mining in Europe requires innovative and economic strategies to support coal regions in transition. ATLANTIS will assess the. .
