How A Swedish Tech Company Is Making Renewable Energy From Abandoned Mines

community of Red Water Pond on Monday, Jan. 13th, 2020.As more and more countries reduce coal-mining activities in line with zero emission targets, more and more mines shut down. For the people who own those mines, however, it’s far from the end of the story.

Abandoned mines also emit methane and can collapse or contaminate groundwater for decades. And even when land is reclaimed, albeit using best environmental practices, it rarely returns to its natural state of wilderness.Most abandoned mines usually fill up with water and it’s here that Boman’s company comes in.

SENS recently tested pumped hydro storage at the Lilla Båtskär iron ore mine below the sea at the Finnish island of Åland. “The EU is providing grants to develop the concept, so there is some kind of guarantee of its commercial viability,” notes Boman.
