Radically accelerating the world’s renewable transition
Green Gravity uses disused mines to store energy. This allows renewable energy to be used when it is needed.
Our technology
Green Gravity’s technology raises and lowers heavy weights in a mine shaft to capture and release the gravitational energy of the weights.
Green Gravity wins Sustainable Innovation Award in the 2025 Hot 30 Awards
Celebrating the hottest Australian innovators in the mining, energy, resources, oil & gas, space and defence industries.
Tanya Plibersek, Minister for the Environment and Water, visits the Gravity Lab
Green Gravity received an operational visit from Tanya Plibersek MP, Federal Minister for Environment and Water, Member for Cunningham Alison Byrnes MP, and candidate for the federal seat of Whitlam Carol Berry. The Minister was engaged on topics from the environmental performance of gravity storage, to the potential regional economic and energy implications of the technology.
Green Gravity receives funding from NSW government
The Weights and Gripper systems are critical to the commercialisation of Green Gravity’s energy storage technology. This project is proudly funded by the NSW Government.
Business Leader Series: Mark Swinnerton, Founder and CEO of Green Gravity
Invest Wollongong
Invest Wollongong sat down with Mark Swinnerton to discuss the motivation behind building Green Gravity and the impact they’re having in the clean energy space.
Green Gravity commences concept engineering with the support of Glencore
Green Gravity has commenced concept engineering study work supported by Glencore at Mount Isa Mines. The study includes assessing the potential to sustainably repurpose multiple mineshafts within the Mount Isa Copper Operations as they cease to be required for mining operations.
Green Gravity completed landmark MOU with the City of Mount Isa
Green Gravity has commenced regional studies, minesite concept engineering, and local community engagement in Mount Isa for the deployment of up to 2 GWh of gravitational energy storage in North West Queensland.
Our technology provides low-cost, flexible and ultra-green energy storage.
Circular
Driving circular economic value by reusing old mine shafts to support green energy.
Flexible
Provides short or mid duration storage or grid ancillary services.
Sustainable
Low noise, small land use, no water, chemicals, or destruction of farmland. Our technology can be fully recycled, unlike battery options.
Local
Locally sourced materials, supply chain and workforce create economic value in the local community.
Low-Cost
Offering attractive economics due to reuse of infrastructure, high efficiency, low operating and maintenance costs and long life of the asset.
Long Life
Our system does not degrade, meaning we invest once to match long run energy security needs, avoiding the costly performance degradation of batteries.
