Abstract
A method for reducing the energy required in a dehydrogenation reaction particularly adapted to methods for transporting and storing thermal energy. The equilibrium of a hydrogenation-dehydrogenation equilibrium reaction system is shifted by removing at least a portion of the generated equilibrium reaction hydrogen and reacting the removed hydrogen with oxygen to produce water and heat and adding the produced water and heat into the equilibrium reaction system. This method has particular use in hydrogenation-dehydrogenation equilibrium reaction systems useful for transporting and storing thermal energy.
