Abstract

A method for generating energy in mobile applications, such as water vehicles, wherein hydrogen is produced by at least partially dehydrogenating a hydrogenated liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) in a chemical reactor, where electricity and water are generated in at least one fuel cell and heat for the chemical reactor is generated in a heating device from the produced hydrogen, and where the hydrogen produced by the chemical reactor is first conducted through the at least one fuel cell and then supplied to the heating device, such that the at least one fuel cell can therefore be operated under partial load and thus with better efficiency than if the hydrogen for the heating device is branched off before the fuel cell.
