Abstract: Thermal dissociation of a pure gaseous substance, comprises converting the pure gaseous substance by input of energy from renewable energy sources (1) into storable dissociation products and/or storable derived products, which forms subsequent chemical secondary reaction of the gas in the thermal dissociation, where the energy is thermal energy, radiation energy and/or ionization energy. A reaction container (3) of a reaction chamber (2) is filled with pure gaseous substance and the reaction chamber is expanded for reducing the partial pressure of the pure gaseous substance. Thermal dissociation of a pure gaseous substance, comprises converting the pure gaseous substance by input of energy from renewable energy sources (1) into storable dissociation products and/or storable derived products, which forms subsequent chemical secondary reaction of the gas in the thermal dissociation, where the energy is thermal energy, radiation energy and/or ionization energy. A reaction container (3) of a reaction chamber (2) is filled with pure gaseous substance and the reaction chamber is expanded for reducing the partial pressure of the pure gaseous substance in reaction container of the reaction chamber and/or a partial volume of pure gaseous substance filtered off with suction from the reaction chamber to reduce the partial pressure of the pure gaseous substance in the reaction chamber. A sufficient amount of energy from renewable energy sources is simultaneously or sequentially introduced into the reaction container of the reaction chamber for the thermal dissociation of pure gaseous substance. The dissociation products and/or derived products are cooled after completion of the thermal dissociation or secondary reaction to a temperature at which no reverse reaction occurs and at least one dissociation product or at least one secondary product is supplied to a storage container (4). An independent claim is also included for a device for thermal dissociation of gaseous pure substance, comprising at least one reservoir for pure gaseous substance and a reaction container with a reaction chamber, where the reservoir and the reaction container are connected via a line for feeding the pure gaseous substance into the reaction container of the reaction chamber, the reaction container comprises apparatus for expanding and/or compressing the reaction chamber and/or apparatus to generate a negative pressure in the reaction chamber, the reaction container is equipped with at least one tempering element for controlling the temperature of the reaction chamber, the reaction chamber can be fed with thermal energy produced from renewable energy sources, a pump is arranged on the outlet side of the reaction chamber for removing the dissociation products and/or the derivatives, and the reaction chamber is connected downstream of at least one storage container for storing at least one dissociation product and/or a downstream product.
