As part of an energy harvesting electronics system, some batteryless radios render electricity to storage by means of storage capacitors. In this batteryless type of radio, the storage capacitors cache the electricity as static on layers of dielectric instead of chemical changes, providing energy like batteries do but 'batteryless'. This can be quite effective. Storage capacitors recharge millions of times, they are relatively cheap, somewhat insensitive to temperature, and they never need replacing—which is why they are usually soldered on. As part of an energy autarkic or energy harvesting batteryless radio, therefore, storage capacitors are an integral part, storing electricity like battery does for lean energy periods, but in a 'batteryless' way which is more sustainable. About 15 billion batteries are consumed every year worldwide.
