The invention relates to a device (5, 105) for producing energy from a hy drocarbon mixture (15) comprising at least one dehydratable compound, especi ally from a hydrocarbon-based fuel mixture, preferably from kerosene. Said d evice comprises a reservoir (10, 110) holding the hydrocarbon mixture (15), and an internal combustion engine (20, 120), connected to the reservoir (10, 110), for the combustion of hydrocarbons and for producing thermal and/or k inetic energy (25, 125, 30, 130). The aim of the invention is to provide a d evice (5, 105) of the aforementioned type, a corresponding method and a corr esponding system which allow the efficient production of thermal, kinetic an d electric energy (25, 125, 30, 130, 55, 155). For this purpose, the device (5, 105) also comprises a separation device (35, 135) for at least partially separating the at least one dehydratable compound from the hydrocarbon mixt ure (15), dehydration means (40, 140) for producing hydrogen from the separa ted dehydratable compound by dehydration, first feed means (45, 145) for dir ectly or indirectly feeding the dehydrated compound to the internal combusti on engine (20, 120) and a fuel cell (50, 150) for producing electrical energ y (55, 155), while reacting the hydrogen so obtained. |
