With Underground Thermal #EnergyStorage, or simply "#Geothermal Storage", bulk quantities of hot or cold water gets stored underground with modest energy leakage.

A very salient use case is using #Solar powered heat pumps during summer to heat up water for geothermal storage. Then during winter, this hot water can be tapped to heat homes and #DistrictHeating networks. This is #SeasonalEnergyStorage for solar.

Renewable heat displaces gas.

«Researchers at ETH #Zurich are using iron to store hydrogen safely and for long periods. In the future, this technology could be used for #seasonal energy storage.»

It's feasible to use solar #Energy to store summer heat for winter #DistrictHeating using air source heat pumps and pit thermal energy storage.
Here's the paper:

I asked myself: can you make hydrogen at home and use it?
-H2 at home allows storing excess energy from summer to use in the winter
-Some people have done it, becoming energy-independent in houses and apartment blocks
-You can already buy all the equipment in a box ready to install
