> While our time series analysis supports previous findings that periods with persistently scarce supply last no longer than two weeks, we find that the maximum energy deficit occurs over a much longer period of nine weeks. This is because multiple scarce periods can closely follow each other. Sure, but if renewables are over-provisioned and used to make syngas, Germany could store ten weeks worth[0]. Of course it's more complicated than that, because the gas storage capacity only provides a portion of Germany's total energy needs, but this would be in addition to batteries and other types of energy storage such as green ammonia.
