Abstract

“A review on Liquid Solar Energy: A Novel Approach to Renewable Energy Storage and Distribution” The global transition to renewable energy has been hindered by challenges in energy storage and transportation. Liquid solar energy, a transformative concept involving the conversion of solar energy into green methanol, offers a potential solution. This paper reviews the literature, explores methodologies, details the working principles, and discusses the advantages and future scope of liquid solar energy. By focusing on the feasibility and implications of this technology, the paper provides insights into its potential to address energy sustainability challenges.
