Israel Proposes Regulations for Underground Energy Storage and Climate Goals
Israel's Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure has proposed amendments to the Mining Ordinance to regulate underground storage of energy, natural gas, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. The plan also includes compressed-air, heat storage, and geothermal energy production. These measures aim to enhance energy security, reduce emissions, and support Israel's 2050 climate goals. The amendment would introduce safety rules, licensing procedures, and a special track for pilot projects using emerging technologies.
