1. Introduction. Energy continues to be a key element to the worldwide development. Due to the oil price volatility, depletion of fossil fuel resources, global warming and local pollution, geopolitical tensions and growth in energy demand, alternative energies, renewable energies and effective use of fossil fuels have become much more important

Energy storage can stabilise fluctuations in demand and supply by allowing excess electricity to be saved in large quantities. With the energy system relying increasingly on renewables, more and more energy use is electric. Energy storage therefore has a key role to play in the transition towards a carbon-neutral economy.

The Demosthene Footnote 1 research project is one of the few—if not the only one—in Europe to explore the possibilities of partially flooded abandoned mines, i.e. cavities with a high diameter–height ratio (> 10) due to way they used to operate. It is funded by the Picardy region, located in the north of France, for the 2015–2018 period.
