<p>Provided are a heat transport apparatus and a heat transport method with which nitrous oxide can be used as an environmentally friendly energy source. A fuel gas including nitrous oxide (N2O) is supplied to a decomposition reactor (22) having disposed therein a catalyst (21) for decomposing nitrous oxide, and the catalyst (21) is used to decompose the nitrous oxide included in the fuel gas. Steam is generated by a decomposition-gas boiler by way of heat recovery from decomposition gas (N2, O2) generated by decomposing nitrous oxide, the steam generated by the decomposition-gas boiler is used to drive the rotation of a steam turbine to obtain motive power, and the motive power is subsequently used to drive a heat pump to transport heat. Alternatively, the decomposition gas (N2, O2) generated by decomposing nitrous oxide is used to drive the rotation of a decomposition-gas turbine to obtain motive power, and the motive power is subsequently used to drive the heat pump to transport heat.</p> |
