Thermochemical cycle systems produce hydrogen without the release of greenhouse gases using heat and electrical energy from renewable energy sources. In this study, the energy and exergy analyses of designed high-temperature Cu-Cl thermochemical conversion system are performed. Parametric studies are carried out by examining the analyses according to different reference temperature values and reaction temperatures. The exergy rates and exergy destruction rates for each step of cycle, and also the exergy efficiency of system are investigated. The energy and exergy efficiencies of Cu-Cl thermochemical cycle at a reference ambient temperature of 25 °C are found as 55.41% and 66.09%, respectively. In addition, the maximum exergy destruction in the investigated system occurred in the hydrogen production step.
