    unstable and intermittent by nature. Energy storage compensates for the inherent intermittency of renewable energy sources, by storing energy during surplus power production periods and discharging the stored energy during low production periods. Compressed Air Energy Storage has received much attention as a viable solution due to its economic feasibility, low environmental impact, and large-scale capability. However, conventional CAES

    animals and plants which have decayed for millions of years, there are three main types coal, oil and natural gas. While oil is the most biggest form of energy source today, coal was discovered first and has been use since 1,000 BC and it was in the 1800s that it replaced biomass as the primary source of energy while massive consumption of fuel didn't start until early 1900s. Despite being a natural source these fossil fuels have greatly impacted the environment negatively, adding to the greenhouse

    United States if we were an oil exporting country, like those in the Middle East. The States falls victim to those countries because we do not export quite as much as they do. This problem could potentially be solved by upping the amount of oil and gas fracking. Then, that now unused oil can be sent out to other countries, turning a profit here. Although many people believe that it is harmful to the environment, and bad for the public around it. The largest being that it will contaminate the underground

    matter and carbon dioxide. However hydrogen continues to have technical obstacles associated with it, including storage issues, due to the fact that hydrogen has a high energy density by weight, but has a low energy density by volume when not highly compressed or liquefied. A lot has been written about hydrogen and human being’s emergence into a “hydrogen economy”. There are many studies published and numerous advances in the related technologies. As a matter of fact the November 13th edition of the

    Today when our car is running low on gas, all we do is stop at a gas station and fill it up. We do not even take a second to think about it, we just do it. Not many people stop and think about how the fuel we are putting into our cars got to the gas station in the first place. The bad news for us is that oil, along with a few other resources, are fossil fuels. Almost everyone’s daily life uses fossil fuels in one way or another. The big question that not many people ask or know the answer to

    decay in layers. The soil surrounding the decayed plants and animals turn into rock. The rock is then pressurized and heated. Eventually it gets so compressed that the organic material turns into natural gas, crude oil, propane, butane etc. Propane has many uses such as: heating up homes and businesses, lighting grills, drying out crops, and preventing gas from freezing in the winter. However, its primary use is fueling buildings. In Wisconsin 1.63% of its energy use is propane. Initially, propane
