It's biodegradable, relatively cheap, dissolves in water (unlike oils) and has a high energy density.
1kg of sucrose has an energy density that is equivalent to 4kW.
A typical daily power consumption of a family home is ~ 11kW
It means that we can power an entire house with ~ 3kg of table sugar.

Until it starts raining. The cost of keeping the water out of the battery will be very high.
How is different than any other type of fuel cell / battery?
