Gravity Storage
Simple, clever and durable: The technical concept of Gravity Storage uses the gravitational power of a huge mass of rock. It will store electricity of large capacity between 0,5 and 10 GWh and will close the gap between renewable energy production and 24/7 supply with zero carbon electricity: cost-efficient, at giga-scale, environmentally friendly.

Gravity battery
A gravity battery is a type of energy storage device that stores gravitational energy —the potential energy E given to an object with a mass m when it is raised against the force of gravity of Earth ( g, 9.8 m/s²) into a height difference h. In a common application, when renewable energy sources such as wind and solar provide more energy
