Gas storage contributes to a large extent to the success of the energy transition in Germany and Europe. Gas storage guarantees a secure gas supply, functions as a cornerstone of an affordable energy system, and provides a storage solution for renewable energy in the future. INES is the association of gas storage system operators in Germany. INES’ members represent over 90 per cent of German gas storage capacities and account for more than 20 per cent of gas storage capacities in the European Union.
ISCC is a globally applicable sustainability certification system and covers all sustainable feedstocks, including agricultural and forestry biomass, circular and bio-based materials and renewables.
Combined heat and power (CHP) is the simultaneous conversion of primary energy into useful heat and mechanical or electrical energy. It is the most efficient principle for the energetic use of fuels, regardless of whether they are fossil or renewable. We can no longer afford to waste usable energy. The Federal Association of Combined Heat and Power therefore promotes the expansion of CHP, regardless of the type and size of the systems, the area of application and the energy source used. The aim is to increase the efficiency of energy conversion in order to conserve resources and reduce emissions that are harmful to the environment and the climate.
The NDI is the worldwide scheme manager of various international standards and certification schemes. The institute also helps companies and public sector organizations to become more sustainable by means of concrete tools and standards.
