Cavern Storage

Cavern storage refers to the practice of using underground caverns—often created by salt mining, limestone extraction, or naturally occurring formations—to store large quantities of gases or liquids, such as natural gas or petroleum. These caverns are sealed off from the environment, providing a safe and secure method for storage. This approach helps balance supply and demand, especially for energy resources, while minimizing the risks associated with surface storage, like leaks or environmental impact. Cavern storage is vital for energy management and supports the stability of energy markets.
