Great when they finally will start mass producing this technology - perfect for large cities in India, Argentina and Brazil e.a where already lots of small vehicles run on compressed natural gas (CNG).
BTW - This story has been all over the I-Net the last days (again). A link to the actual manufacturer / technology company behind that.

If such energy storage technology becomes available at low prices lots of additional "synergies" can be envisioned - e.g decentralized & cheap storage for small solar power (e.g. 50KW) - seen some DYI solutions for that with compressed air - overall the issue with compressed air storage is the low energy density.
CNG and compressed air are quite different. One burns to provide energy, the compression is just for storage. The other uses the compressed air as the power source.
They are not interchangeable, and having one doesn't help you with the other since the pressures are so different.
