The invention relates to a method for controlling the withdrawal of gas from a sorption reservoir. The temperature in the sorption reservoir having a decreasing amount of gas therein is increased until a maximum acceptable temperature is reached such that a predetermined minimum pressure in the sorption reservoir does not fall below that threshold. The invention also relates to a device for storing at least one gas, having a sorption reservoir that has at least one attachment via which the sorption reservoir can be filled with gas or via which gas can be withdrawn from the sorption reservoir. The invention also relates to a device having at least one heating element which can warm the sorption reservoir, also a control system that can increase the temperature in the sorption reservoir when withdrawing the gas in such a manner that a predetermined minimum temperature in the sorption reservoir is not fallen below in order to attain a maximum acceptable pressure.
