This results in the emergence of “stranded,” meaning stranded costs, assets, and resources. One way to reduce the scale of this problem is the development of alternative energy-storage technologies that can be adapted for use in post-mining infrastructure. Potential solutions include systems such as UPSH, A-CAES, MTES, and other innovative gravitational energy-storage technologies, which can additionally help increase energy stability amid the ongoing transformation of the energy system.}, title={The second life of mines – the possibilities of using closed coal mines for the purposes of energy transformation and minimizing the phenomenon of orphans}, type={Artykuł}, URL={http://publikacje.pan.pl/Content/138792/PE_063-081_PE_Cz.2_%20Jerzak.pdf}, keywords={stranded assets, stranded costs, stranded resources, energy transition, coal mines, climate policy, abandoned mines, energy storage}, }
