Summary
For Berlin, the scientists see a need for action in terms of land availability, legal uncertainties in the approval process and a need for information on geological conditions.
Seasonal heat storage systems help to shift excess heat from summer to times of higher heat demand in winter. There are different types of storage systems for this. The scientists consider aquifer heat storage systems to be particularly suitable for Berlin. These are open systems for the storage and recovery of heat in hydraulically closed groundwater layers.
"Heat storage systems help to use renewable energy more efficiently. They reduce dependence on fossil fuels and relieve the energy system. They are therefore essential for a climate-neutral heat supply in Berlin," says Marie-Claire Gering, researcher and project manager at RLI, summarizing the results.
Making more efficient use of waste heat and renewable heat in Berlin's district heating network.
