New gas heating quickly in 2023 - often the cheapest decision that also pays off for the environment
March 2, 2023
The BMWK is currently causing a stir with a draft bill. This is because it involves a categorical ban on gas heating systems. According to the plan, from 2024, only heating systems powered by 65 % renewable energies may be used. Formally, this can only be heat pumps, district heating or biomass heating. This raises the question: what about the openness of technology in Germany? And who should pay for it? Decentralized gas-powered heating systems are often the only economically and functionally viable solutions, especially in hall buildings.
As a heating expert, what can you do and advise your commercial customers? Every entrepreneur wants to meet the climate targets, but investments also have to be economical. That could be a problem.
From our point of view as experts in sustainable hall heating, there are 3 clever solutions to the problem:
Your recommended solution 1: New gas heating system before the end of 2023
They recommend, for example, the use of proven energy-saving IR heating systems from KÜBLER. Where appropriate, supplement these with condensing boiler technology. This gives your customer the advantage of saving higher investment costs for a hybrid multi-energy system - incidentally, a world first that KÜBLER will be presenting at ISH 2023.
Result: This efficiency measure reduces heating energy consumption by 50 to 70 percent. Incidentally, far more than the legislator requires in its draft. Both GHG emissions and heating costs are reduced accordingly, so that the investment usually pays for itself in two to three years. Your client and the environment will be pleased.
Future steps: The new heating system can be easily adapted to use hydrogen as soon as it is available in sufficient and affordable quantities.
Your recommended solution 2: High-efficiency heating from KÜBLER, including H₂ readiness and retrofit option
You immediately advise your customer to use a high-efficiency system from KÜBLER.
Result: Your customer immediately takes advantage of the possibility of using hydrogen and benefits from the advantages of high energy, emission and cost savings.
Future steps: The high-efficiency system can be easily and inexpensively upgraded for electricity or PV use at any time with a retrofit kit.
Your solution recommendation 3: Build on the world's first multi-energy system from KÜBLER right away
This opens the way for your customer to become CO₂-free. KÜBLER's multi-energy system allows various renewable energy sources such as electricity or hydrogen, but also gas or biogas, to be used variably – in combination or alternatively.
This option gives you the freedom to rely on your own PV electricity right away, for example, and thus achieve a degree of energy self-sufficiency. Active energy management via the control system makes heating costs and CO₂ emissions scalable when using different energy sources—what progress!
By the way: The innovative multi-energy system was awarded the special prize "Innovative technologies for climate protection" at the SUCCESS technology competition at the end of 2022 and has been nominated for the German Innovation Award in 2023.
The bottom line
Never before have you been able to show your commercial and industrial customers such simple solutions for implementing the heat transition. And in a very economical and sustainable way. This is because the investment costs for your customer are comparatively low - they are around a third lower than the costs for heat pumps, for example.

Only around half of German companies are aware of their waste heat potential - as dena writes in its publication on waste heat utilization as part of the Energy Efficiency Initiative. This means that an estimated 226 TWh of usable heat goes unused every year. That is 36 % of the energy used by the entire manufacturing industry. This clearly costs companies an enormous amount of money, but at the same time the unused waste heat has a negative impact on the environment. Around 60 million tons of the greenhouse gas CO₂ evaporate unnecessarily into the atmosphere every year. In view of rising energy costs and climate protection targets, companies simply can no longer afford to do this. -
The decision on the Heating Act (Building Energy Act - GEG) has been made, but the questions remain. But there is no need to worry: the legislator has provided for generous transition periods, technological openness and pragmatic, affordable regulations for the gradual move towards climate-neutral heating by 2045. Dr. Jens Findeisen explains what you need to know now when heating commercial and industrial buildings -
How will Germany heat from 2024 according to Federal Minister Habeck? First things first: the final answer is not yet available. This is because the draft for a new Building Energy Act (GEG) has only just made it through the cabinet. The next step will be to ask the Bundestag and Bundesrat. Nevertheless, the announced "end" for gas and oil heating systems has been making waves for months. And caused so much uncertainty that last winter, instead of investing in the energy-efficient refurbishment of their hall heating systems, industry often preferred to reactivate old oil and coal heating systems...

Anyone who operates one of the approximately 360,000 hall buildings that have been built in Germany since the 1960s has certainly already got cold feet this winter. It is quite likely that the heating systems in these halls are over 20 years old and are likely to cause regular malfunctions or even production stoppages. Not to mention the high heating costs or the trouble with employees and the works council.
