Germany’s StEnSea project is exploring gravity-based energy storage on the ocean floor.
Their method: pump water in and out of large hollow concrete spheres, using seawater pressure to generate electricity.

It’s clean, quiet, and coastal.

RT @KadriSimson: On my way to the 🇳🇱 to visit the Eastern Scheldt tidal plant, an innovative project, which displays #EU’s 🇪🇺leadership in #offshorerenewables.

I look forward to seeing the potential of #tidalenergy. The supply risks we face today make the case for #renewables even more clear.
