Pumped hydro and Gravity Power both use hydraulic power and a liquid pump or turbine to move water or produce electricity. The difference is that the liquid medium in pumped hydro is the energy storage medium. The pump or turbine sits between the two water reservoirs and is used to move the water up or down the hill.

The move to renewable energy has created a significant need for energy storage capacity and gravitational energy storage is one of the technologies being developed to satisfy that need. Patent lawyer Ben Lincoln from Potter Clarkson returns to the Energy-Storage.news Guest Blog, this time looking at gravity energy storage.

The Switzerland and California-based company announced that it is entering the first phases of commissioning for its first commercial-scale gravity energy storage system (GESS). Slated to be fully grid-interconnected in Q4 2023, the gravity tower will mark the world''s first non-pumped hydro gravity-based storage facility.

Investment Opportunity. Gravitricity is tapping into growing global demand for energy storage, which analysts at BloombergNEF estimated in 2021 will attract more than $262 billion of investment up to 2030.
