Gas storage plays a key role in energy supply stability. It primarily acts as a buffer to meet increased demand during the winter heating season. During the summer months when gas demand is low, storage facilities are filled. This surplus gas is then readily available when demand rises during the colder months, helping stabilize prices and ensuring reliable energy supply.
Various gas storage methods exist, including underground reservoirs in aquifers or salt caves, as well as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and compressed gas. These storage techniques bring flexibility and resilience to the gas supply system, ensuring that consumers have access to gas even during periods of high demand and unexpected supply disruptions.
