<p>A system is described for the thermochemical capture of heat energy and the transfer of this energy to a point of use using a cycle decomposing SO3 to SO2 and O2 and the subsequent oxidation of SO2 and O2 to SO3. This system can store this energy in the form of chemical energy by storing liquid SO2. Embodiments are described wherein oxygen is stored by a solid oxygen storage material or removed and added to the process by selective membranes or by electrochemical pumping. In addition, an alternative embodiment uses an electrochemical generator for the direct conversion of SO2 to electrical energy.</p> |
