Description of Case
Combined heating and power (CHP) systems have many potential benefits when used to provide electricity and heat for a commercial building, including increased power reliability, reduced costs, reduced emissions, reduced primary energy consumption, and improved power quality1.
Background and Challenges
Hydrogen produced from water splitting and clean energy sources is predicted by many to be a clean fuel that will serve as a substitute for conventional fuels because its oxidation does not emit greenhouse gases. Numerous thermochemical water splitting cycles have been proposed for clean hydrogen production. The copper-chlorine (Cu-Cl) cycle has a relatively low temperature requirement compared with other cycles and therefore is viewed as a promising method.
