The exothermic reaction of acetaldehyde and methyl alcohol is suggested as a candidate for energy transport and upgrading. A temperature rise of up to 50°C could be obtained for this system. A lower heat source could also be upgraded by using two distillation columns working at different pressures; thus a low level heat source at 60°C could be delivered to a consumer centre at 70°C by this method.
