flag China opens first underground salt cavern gas storage in Jintan, boosting energy security and supply stability.

flag China’s first underground salt cavern gas storage facility in Jintan, Jiangsu, has opened after a major expansion, boosting natural gas storage capacity and supporting energy security. flag Operated by PipeChina, the facility uses salt formations to create secure underground caverns, increasing injection, peak withdrawal, and emergency withdrawal capacities significantly. flag This method offers a safer, more efficient alternative to aboveground tanks, helping manage rising gas demand driven by urbanization and the shift from coal. flag The project enhances supply stability, especially in the Yangtze River Delta region, and marks a milestone in China’s energy infrastructure, with broader implications for compressed air energy storage and clean energy development.
