Systems and methods for gas storage

A system, comprising:

• a natural gas source;
• a gas-based power plant;
• an adsorption-based gas storage unit;
• a first pipeline connecting the natural gas source and the gas-based power plant;
• a first valve;
• and
• a second valve,
• wherein:
• in a first position, the first valve permits fluid communication between the natural gas source and the adsorption-based gas storage unit;
• in a second position, the first valve prohibits fluid communication between the natural gas source and the adsorption-based gas storage unit;
• in a first position, the second valve permits fluid communication between the adsorption-based gas storage unit and the gas-based power plant;
• in a second position, the second valve prohibits fluid communication between the adsorption-based gas storage unit and the gas-based power plant;
• the adsorption-based gas storage unit is configured to release gas when a difference in pressure between the adsorption-based gas storage unit and the gas-based power plant is at least 200 psi;
• and
• the adsorption-based gas storage unit does not comprise a heat management system.
