Researchers have looked at whether Germany can substitute more gas with renewables-powered heat pumps or renewable electricity to reduce load hours at gas-fired power plants. They argue that heat pumps are the fastest way to cut German gas consumption.An international group of scientists have hypothesized that renewables-powered heat pumps could potentially be one of the fastest ways to reduce Germany's imports of Russian gas. To test the hypothesis, they investigated whether more gas can be substituted by replacing gas boilers with renewables-powered heat pumps. They also considered the use ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
