“…There are various technical possibilities for large scale storage of energy to be delivered as electricity on demand [23,24]. Direct storage of electrical energy can be realized in electric or magnetic form in devices such as supercapacitors and superconducting magnetic energy storage.…”

“…Pure pumped storage plants just shift the water between reservoirs, but pump-storage plants can also generate electricity as run-of-the-river hydroelectric plants do. Taking into account turbine/generation-group losses and evaporation losses from the free water surface, round trip energy efficiency can attain 80% [22,23]. This method is the best proven and most cost-effective means of storing large amounts of electric energy on an operating basis; but high capital cost and appropriate geography and environmental context are critical factors.…”

“…This is a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), a sandwich consisting of two catalyzed electrodes with an interposed polymeric membrane, in analogy to the assembly in PEM (polymer-electrolyte or proton-exchange membrane) fuel cell, fed from external storing tanks. The most relevant features of this technology are: flexibility that includes independent sizing of power capacity (converter) and energy stored (tanks), high round-trip efficiency, fast responsiveness (seconds), long durability, scalability, and reduced environmental impact [23,25].…”

“…When running, the heat produced in charging and discharging cycles is enough to maintain the operating temperatures at 300-350 • C, no external heat source being required. NaS batteries are built from inexpensive and non-toxic materials and display excellent round-trip energy efficiency (≈80%) [22,23]. The high operating temperature and the corrosive nature of sodium make them suitable for large-scale stationary applications only.…”

The Role of Synthetic Fuels for a Carbon Neutral Economy

Fossil fuels depletion and increasing environmental impacts arising from their use call for seeking growing supplies from renewable and nuclear primary energy sources. However, it is necessary to simultaneously attend to both the electrical power needs and the specificities of the transport and industrial sector requirements. A major question posed by the shift away from traditional fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources lies in matching the power demand with the daily and seasonal oscillation and the intermittency of these natural energy fluxes. Huge energy storage requirements become necessary or otherwise the decline of the power factor of both the renewable and conventional generation would mean loss of resources. On the other hand, liquid and gaseous fuels, for which there is vast storage and distribution capacity available, appear essential to supply the transport sector for a very long time ahead, besides their domestic and industrial roles. Within this context, the present assessment suggests that proven technologies and sound tested principles are available to develop an integrated energy system, relying on synthetic fuels. These would incorporate carbon capture and utilization in a closed carbon cycle, progressively relying mostly on solar and/or nuclear primary sources, providing both electric power and gaseous/liquid hydrocarbon fuels, having ample storage capacity, and able to timely satisfy all forms of energy demand. The principles and means are already available to develop a carbon-neutral synthetic fuel economy.

Review of energy storage and transportation of energy

Energy storage and transportation are essential keys to make sure the continuity of energy to the customer. Electric power generation is changing dramatically across the world due to the environmental effects of Greenhouse gases (GHG) produced by fossil fuels. The unpredictable daily and seasonal variations in demand for electrical energy can be tackled by introducing the energy storage systems (ESSs) and hence mitigating the extra GHG emission in the atmosphere. Energy storage techniques can be mechanical, electro‐chemical, chemical, or thermal, and so on. The most popular form of energy storage is hydraulic power plants by using pumped storage and in the form of stored fuel for thermal power plants. The classification of ESSs, their current status, flaws and present trends, are presented in this article. The present state of fossil fuel reserves, their production, consumption, and as a consequence of these the CO2 emissions are also discussed. The primary energy carriers coal, oil and gas are not evenly distributed along the globe. Long distances are involved in transporting these energy carriers and transportation and delivery of these key resources to the prime customers is always necessary. The different methods to transport the energy from the source end to demand end is also discussed in this article. The assessment of various energy storage methods on the basis of several factors and present status and development of storage and transportation of energy in Pakistan is discussed.
