chemical, kinetic, or thermal) and convert them back to useful forms of energy like electricity. Technologies include energy storage with molten salt and liquid air or cryogenic storage. Simply put, energy storage is the ability to capture energy at one time for use at a later time. Lithium batteries: the future of storage.

Researchers Propose Solar-Driven Biomass Gasification Pathway for Synthetic Fuel Production

Green Car Congress

High temperature heat for biomass gasification is obtained from a molten-salt system in a solar concentrating tower. One of the feasible approaches is heating sand (Olivine, also the catalyst of gasification reaction) by hot molten salt from a solar concentrator tower, using a gasifier designed as a fluidized-bed of olivine particles.
