The present invention relates to a method for generating energy, wherein in a chemical reactor 3 hydrogen is produced by at least partially dehydrogenating a hydrogenated liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC), and from the produced hydrogen, at least one Electric current and water are generated in the fuel cell 4, heat for the chemical reactor 3 is generated in the heating device 8, and according to the present invention, the hydrogen produced by the chemical reactor 3 is first It is guided through at least one fuel cell 4 and is then supplied to the heating device 8. Therefore, at least one fuel cell 4 can be operated under partial load and thus with better efficiency than if the hydrogen for the heating device 8 branched before the fuel cell 4. The invention is preferably used in mobile applications, in particular in water vehicles. |
