RICAS2020 will be located as an extension of the independent research infrastructure \u201cresearch@ZaB\u201d in Eisenerz, Austria, which is financed by the Austrian government and designed as a European underground research, training and test facility.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Design Study RICAS2020 aims to create an underground research infrastructure for AA-CAES and
