Chemical Storage

Chemical storage can be defined as storing chemicals for later use. These chemicals can be stored in chemical stores, cabinets, or other storage. These chemicals can be hazardous or non-hazardous. For the current energy generation system, these storages will be in the form of biomass, coal, and gas. Energy stored chemically can be used in various sectors such as transporting, heating, and producing electricity.

Where is Chemical Energy used?

Chemical storage is used for,

Power plants
Electric vehicles
Mobiles

Examples of Chemical Energy Storage

There are various examples of chemical energy storage some of the most common are:

Hydrogen Storage

Storing hydrogen for later consumption is known as hydrogen storage This can be done by using chemical energy storage. These storages can include various mechanical techniques including low temperatures, high pressures, or using chemical compounds that release hydrogen only when necessary. It is most widely used in the manufacturing site, especially in the synthesis of ammonia.

Application of Hydrogen Storage

Some of the important applications of Hydrogen Storage systems are in

Transportation sector as fuel
Industrial sector for power supply
Residential sector for heating

Energy Storage

Energy storage can be defined as the process in which we store the energy that was produced all at once. This process helps in maintaining the balance of the supply and demand of energy. Energy storage can also be defined as the process of transforming energy that is difficult to store into a form that can be kept affordably for later use. These storages can be of any type according to the shelf-life of energy which means some storages can store energy for a short time and some can for a long time. There are various examples of energy storage including a battery, flywheel, solar panels, etc.
