This is because these storage requirements have generally already been met, and will not change significantly in the future. In the electricity sector by contrast, there will be a significant shift from primary energy storage to electricity and final energy storage. Both sectors have remarkably high storage requirements. Almost all households have thermal buffers. The same is true of renewable energy heating systems such as pellet heating, geothermal, or solar-thermal systems. Some households with liquid gas or oil heating even have two storage units: a fuel tank and a thermal buffer. Exceptions include heating systems with upstream storage such as district heating or gas storage. In the future, integration of the electricity and heating sectors by combined heat and power (CHP) generation, heat pumps, power-to-heat (PtH), and power-to-gas (PtG) will facilitate the use of renewable energy, and lead to a paradigm shift. Relying on results from various studies, this chapter examines the development of heating supply in Germany and the resulting thermal storage requirements. The chapter's later sections provide surplus and storage potential estimates. Cooling requirements are included as 'process cooling' under 'process heat', and as 'air-conditioning' over 'room heating'. It is primarily integrated into electricity demand.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SternerEckertGerhardtetal., author = {Sterner, Michael and Eckert, Fabian and Gerhardt, Norman and Henning, Hans-Martin and Palzer, Andreas}, title = {Speicherbedarf in der W{\"a}rmeversorgung}, series = {Energiespeicher - Bedarf, Technologien, Integration}, booktitle = {Energiespeicher - Bedarf, Technologien, Integration}, edition = {2.
