Using natural rocks to store heat could be cheaper than using molten salts and oils. Some demonstration projects such as GridScale in Denmark, and a larger gigascale system in Israel, are already underway. They store energy in tanks full of crushed stone. But the properties of rocks can vary based on where in the world they were formed.
