  • Hybrid Heating Systems: EWI Study Shows Potential for Heat Transition

    A recent study by the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne (EWI) shows: Gas hybrid heating systems can be an economically viable and practical alternative to pure heat pumps, particularly in neighborhoods with many unrenovated buildings. Although they cause slightly higher greenhouse gas emissions, their flexible mode of operation - especially during peak load phases - reliev

  • Deutsche ReGas Achieves Largest Gas Feed-In in Germany

    With more than ten TWh of feed-in capacity, the Deutsche Ostsee energy terminal achieved the highest feed-in capacity in its history in the second quarter, while also reaching the highest value among all LNG terminals in Germany. Deutsche Regas is thus currently making an important contribution to ensuring that natural gas storage facilities in Germany can be refilled after the cold winter months.
