Is heat by combustion a more efficient and/or cheaper source of energy? For example in high temprature electrolysis energy is provided through electricity as well as heat. Does that make it more efficient than regular electrolysis with just electricity?
I would think so because heat by combustion is a rawer form of energy. In producing electricity, much energy would be wasted beause of resistance. By using heat we can eliminate these points of resistance.(i am assuming that combustion is carried out in perfect conditions)
Am i thinking correctly?
