Solar energy is most commonly converted into electricity by employing photovoltaic or solar thermal generation systems. Various technologies for direct storage of electricity have been proposed, although, with the exception of batteries and capacitors, systems based on these technologies are minimally effective for transportation applications. Energy storage in chemical substances is considered much more effective for transportation and long-term storage, especially as fuels for engines, turbines and boilers. In this chapter, chemical energy conversion/storage systems based on C-C, H-H and C-H bonds will be discussed. Advanced catalyst, electrode and process technologies play a key role in these systems.
