21st Century challenges of clean energy and global warming-can energy storage systems meet these issues?

On account of growing civilization in the developed and developing countries, use of transport becomes part of life and its population is becoming 2 to 3 times in every 5-7 years. Thus transport sector alone, is causing a faster consumption of hydrocarbon fuel and releases heavy tail pipe emissions, thereby billion tonnes of excessive carbon dioxide is added in the atmosphere every day. This is causing a serious threat to the global warming. Also the fuel reserves are depleting very fast. In 1956, the Marion King Hubbert a noted geophysicist predicted that US Fuel reserves may peak by 1975 and fuel crisis will be noticed by 1995. Thereafter in 2003, Aleklett and Campbell expressed their views that most of the countries will pass through peak oil days by 2010-12 and fuel consumption will reach to 80% by 2020-30 with the current rate of consumption. In view of growing challenges, researches are continued to supplement the energy by renewable resources and alternate energy to sustain green house hydrocarbon fuel. The major thrust is being given to explore wind energy, hydro-power, tidal and nuclear power generation. Efforts are also being made for storage of the clean energy by conversion system and its better utilization. This paper describes especially conversion system of atmospheric air proposed to be compressed by alternative energy sources like wind, solar energy etc. or disaster energy sources and stored in energy storage system. Such energy can be reused as clean energy source for running domestic appliances and light vehicles as zero pollution fuel source and ultimately check the global warming issue up to some extent.
