1. An unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) system for energy transport, the UAV system comprising:
a UAV including an energy tank configured to transport energy;
a processor; and
a memory, including instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
receive a first location for collecting or delivering energy;
determine an energy level of the energy tank; and
transport the energy by the UAV to or from the first location based on the determined energy level.
