Brine Disposal in Southwestern Ontario: A Siting Study to Support CAES Salt Caverns

摘要

1. With the demand for energy storage growing rapidly, large salt caverns will be used as a storage medium in compressed air energy storage (CAES), 2. Grid-scale CAES would require solution mining of large salt caverns, usually in the range of 100,000 to 1,000,000 m~3. 3. 7 - 8 m~3 of brine is generated from dissolving 1 m~3 of salt, what to do wrth it? 4. Deep brine disposal offers a safe approach to disposal of large volumes of brine.
