DEEP.KBB specialises in engineering and geoscientific services for a wide variety of underground storage projects. Our core competencies include consulting, planning, construction and operation of underground energy storage facilities, as well as brine and salt extraction plants.

Artificially created cavities in salt rock are suitable for the efficient, sustainable and economical storage of energy sources. Cavern storage is a safe technology because salt has ideal physical properties to form a permanently impermeable barrier against liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons, compressed air and hydrogen. Compared with other storage options, caverns provide higher operating flexibility and have a smaller footprint above ground.
