“…Compressed air energy storage (CAES) technology is mainly based on using electrical energy from renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, to store it in the form of high-pressure compressed air underground. The technology consists of two separate parts: charging (compression) and discharging (expansion) of the cavity [12]. During times of excess energy and lower electricity demand, ambient air is stored at high pressures in underground cavities (engine in compressor mode).…”

In the context of sustainable development, revitalising the coal sector is a key challenge. This article examines how five innovative technologies can transform abandoned or in-use coal mines into sustainable energy centres. From solar thermal to compressed air energy storage, these solutions offer a path to a more sustainable future while addressing the decline in coal production. This approach not only promotes energy efficiency but also contributes to the mitigation of environmental impacts, thus consolidating the transition to a more responsible energy model. Thus, in this document, the reader can find the explanation of why we have opted for these technologies and not other existing ones. In addition, the economic, environmental and technical feasibility of the different technologies is analysed. Finally, real cases of the successful application of these technologies will be presented once they have gone beyond the project idea phase, and the reasons why we are calling for their transposition to the coal industry in the search for its revitalisation will be explained.
