  2. Energy carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_carrier

    Energy carriers are produced by the energy sector using primary energy sources. In the field of energetics, an energy carrier is produced by human technology from a primary energy source. Only the energy sector uses primary energy sources. Other sectors of society use an energy carrier to perform useful activities (end-uses). [3]

  3. Energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_storage

    The largest source and the greatest store of renewable energy is provided by hydroelectric dams. A large reservoir behind a dam can store enough water to average the annual flow of a river between dry and wet seasons, and a very large reservoir can store enough water to average the flow of a river between dry and wet years.

  4. Chemical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_energy

    Chemical energy is the energy of chemical substances that is released when the substances undergo a chemical reaction and transform into other substances. Some examples of storage media of chemical energy include batteries, [1] food, and gasoline (as well as oxygen gas, which is of high chemical energy due to its relatively weak double bond [2] and indispensable for chemical-energy release in ...

  5. Unconventional (oil and gas) reservoir - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_(oil_and...

    Schematic unconventional reservoir classification expressed as fluid energy vs flow potential based on initials without stimulation. Unconventional (oil and gas) reservoirs, or unconventional resources (resource plays) are accumulations where oil and gas phases are tightly bound to the rock fabric by strong capillary forces, requiring specialized measures for evaluation and extraction.

  6. Storage tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_tank

    [10] [11] However, storage tanks also present another problem, surprisingly, when empty. If they have been used to hold oil or oil products such as gasoline, the atmosphere in the tanks may be highly explosive as the space fills with hydrocarbons. If new welding operations are started, then sparks can easily ignite the contents, with disastrous ...

  7. Thermal energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_energy_storage

    This is because there is a high energy difference between the NBD and the quadricyclane (QC) photoisomer. This energy difference is approximately 96 kJ/mol. It is also known that for such systems, the donor-acceptor substitutions provide an effective means for red shifting the longest-wavelength absorption.

  9. Carbon capture and storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_capture_and_storage

    The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) defines CCS as: "A process in which a relatively pure stream of carbon dioxide (CO 2) from industrial and energy-related sources is separated (captured), conditioned, compressed and transported to a storage location for long-term isolation from the atmosphere."
