The energy system with a future:

THE GP JOULE-MAGAZINE NR. 13 / NOVEMBER 2022

Electricity, heat and gas – energy can be transported in pipelines in all three forms. This new graphic shows where it comes from and where it is needed.

In an energy system with a future, unlike today’s situation, the forms of energy converge into each other according to demand. Electricity from the photovoltaic system fl ows not only into the refrigerator, but also into the electric car or the heat pump. Th e wind farm powers an electrolyser that not only produces hydrogen, but also heat for the neighbouring houses. These energy flows can always be readjusted according to the region and situation – because the only energy system with a future is a flexible one.
