Abstract: A method is described for generating carbon-neutral electricity using purified hydrogen as an energy source. A recyclable LOHC is provided to the process for reversible dehydrogenation. Hydrogen generated by dehydrogenation is purified and electrochemically converted to electricity. Heat for maintaining the dehydrogenation reaction temperature is derived from combustion of a portion of the liquid products from dehydrogenation, the portion combusted being less than or equal to the portion of carbon-neutral component included in the recyclable LOHC.
