That depends a lot on the kind of energy. Potential energy can be stored almost indefinitely. For example, a stone which you lift up and put on a shelf has potential energy. To be a little more practical, water in a dam also has potential energy.
Kinetic energy is more difficult to store, because of friction. But some cars have been built that use a flywheel to store energy for up to a day or so.
There is no way to store thermal energy indefinitely, but if you put water in a hot water bottle, it may remain hot for hours, or even days.
The primary energy reserve stored in the body is glycogen, which is stored in the liver and muscles. Additionally, the body can also store energy in the form of adipose tissue (body fat) for long-term energy storage.
Cellular energy is stored long term in the form of molecules such as glycogen in muscle cells and the liver, and triglycerides in adipose tissue. These molecules can be broken down to release energy when needed by the body.
The energy stored in oil and coal is stored as chemical energy. This energy is released when the substances are burned or oxidized.
Stored energy
Yes, unused energy can be stored for the future using methods such as batteries, pumped hydro storage, compressed air storage, or thermal energy storage. These technologies help capture excess energy generated during times of low demand for use when demand is high.

Energy in living beings is stored as chemical energy. For long-term energy storage a sugar is used; for short-term energy storage, ATP.

Chemical energy, which was originally obtained from the sun by long dead lifeforms.
No. In general, there is no way to store heat energy (thermal energy) long-term.
10, 000 years
Energy that is stored is called kinetic energy.
The energy stored in oil and coal is stored as chemical energy. This energy is released when the substances are burned or oxidized.
Fat.
The type of energy that is stored in food is called chemical potential energy.. This energy is stored until it is ready to be used.
A cell uses molecules like glycogen and triglycerides for long-term energy storage. Glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, while triglycerides are stored in adipose tissue.
