It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.

Local people have also carved out over 200 caves in the soft rock and use them for everything from sacred burial places to food storage.

And it would raise the demand for technologies such as carbon capture and storage, spurring their further development.

Today, energy storage is a $33 billion global industry that generates nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year.

But Sadoway isn't alone in trumpeting energy storage as a missing link to a cleaner, more efficient, and more equitable energy future.

Yet due to poor practices in harvesting, storage and transportation, as well as market and consumer wastage, it is estimated that 30-50% of all food produced never reaches a human stomach.

Each group over the coming decades will need to address different issues surrounding food production, storage and transportation, as well as consumer expectations, if we are to continue to feed all our people

In mature, fully developed countries such as the UK, more-efficient farming practices and better transport, storage and processing facilities ensure that a larger proportion of the food produced reaches markets and consumers.

Energy to power machinery, both on the farm and in the storage and processing facilities, adds to the energy total, which currently represents about

Governments of rapidly developing countries incorporate waste minimisation thinking into the transport infrastructure and storage facilities currently being planned, engineered and built.

Poor practices in harvesting, storage and transportation have resulted in a waste of much of the food we produce and thus a waste of land and resources

We see the potential for capture and storage to play an integral role in reducing emissions," says Kim Corley, Shell's senior advisor of CO2 and environmental affairs.

However, scientists say that the scale of CO2 emissions will require vast amounts of long-term storage

Some propose storing the CO2 in coal mines or liquid storage in the ocean, Shell favors storing CO2 in deep geological structures such as saline(鹽的) formations and exhausted oil and gas fields that exist throughout the world.

Long-term storage of CO2 is no easy job because of

Another team at Nagoya University in Japan has tested calcium compound as an energy storage material.

Despite being the continent's second-largest producer of tomatoes, Nigeria is dependent on $1 billion worth of tomato-paste imports every year, as around 75% of the local harvest goes to waste thanks to a lack of proper storage facilities.

Today, energy storage is a $33 billion global industry that generates nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year.
