Batteries do just that. Store electricity as chemical energy and release the power later. However by chemical energy you mean fuel that you can burn - sugar, gas, alcohol etc. it's called Power to gas Currently the only way known is to split water into hydrogen (and oxygen) using electrolysis and try bind the hydrogen to carbonThere are some interesting developments like for instance making alcohol with help of enzymes and electricity from carbon dioxide and water. Cars and motorcycles can run on alcohol if they can run on gasoline. They might even perform better. Methanol is currently made fromnatural gas. Being able to produce it with electricity from solar or wind energy could be revolution in the field of renewable energy.

You use a galvanic cell to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. As the chemical reactions occur in the internal circuit, electrons carry electrical energy through a wire in the external circuit. You can connect the wire to a light bulb or a motor to do work. Thus, a galvanic cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy.
