Can this solve the energy storage problem?
Can we simply store energy with air?
This technology is called compressed air energy storage or CAES for short.
In a nutshell, compressed air energy storage, uses electricity to compress and store air into underground reservoirs or purpose-built tanks, which can later be used to generate electricity when needed.
This video will explain in more detail how Compressed air energy storage works, the different types, and its pros and cons.
