Salt Dome Storage

Salt dome storage refers to the use of naturally occurring underground salt formations to store various materials, such as natural gas, oil, or even hazardous waste. Salt is unique because it can be mined and then reformed into large, sealed caverns, which are both safe and impermeable. These caverns protect the stored materials from contamination and environmental risks. Since salt is dense and stable, it provides a secure environment for long-term storage, making it an effective solution for managing seasonal energy demand and ensuring energy security.
