Climate change is often described through distant images: melting ice, future scenarios, long-term projections. But the latest indicators tell a different story. The climate signal is no longer distant. It is measurable, current and accelerating. According to the latest Indicators of Global Climate Change update, human-induced warming is now increasing at a rate of around […]
The GrEnMine consortium met in Petroșani, Romania, for a project progress meeting hosted by the University of Petroșani. The meeting brought together project partners to discuss the development of gravitational energy storage technologies and their potential role in the transformation of post-mining regions. Petroșani offered a particularly meaningful setting for the discussion. As a city […]
Mission Stabilise renewable energy through gravity.Re-engineer post-mining land into energy infrastructure.Design systems that hold the line. Manifest There are landscapes shaped by extraction.And there are futures shaped by intention. We work at the intersection of both. Energy transition is accelerating.Solar rises. Wind expands.But growth without stability is risk. Renewables generate.Systems fluctuate.Grids demand balance. We do […]
A project focused on gravitational energy storage is currently underway, including the construction of a demonstrator and the assessment of the technology’s full potential. The Energy of Tomorrow – Rooted in a Mining Past Wrocław University of Science and Technology is coordinating a project that may redefine how Europe approaches energy storage. GrEnMine is an […]
In June 2025, solar power became the largest source of electricity in the European Union for the first time. The sun accounted for 17% of the energy mix—more than any other source [Reuters, 9 July 2025]. It is a historic milestone. But also a warning signal: the higher the share of renewables in the grid, […]
While autumn was settling across much of Europe, the GrEnMine consortium gathered in Crete for its 3rd project meeting — two days dedicated to advancing the development of gravitational energy storage in post-mine areas. The event was hosted by the Technical University of Crete (TUC), whose team provided both the venue and an inspiring academic […]
Some places carry history.Some projects know how to carry it forward. GrEnMine was presented at the recent Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) Coordinators’ Meeting hosted by the Technical University of Crete. Among numerous forward-looking initiatives shaping Europe’s industrial and energy transition, GrEnMine offered a distinct perspective: transforming post-mining landscapes into long-duration energy storage […]
You do not simply place a 100-ton mass on the ground and hope for the best. When gravitational energy storage systems rely on controlled mass movement, the terrain becomes part of the engineering system. If gravity is the battery, the ground is the foundation. Within the GrEnMine project, comprehensive geotechnical simulations are being conducted to […]
