Abstract

A method for generating a hydrogen-containing product gas from liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons includes providing a reformer installation having a combustion space, a mixing chamber and a reformer unit. Partial oxidation of a first hydrocarbon stream with a first oxygen-containing gas stream is performed and a first product-gas stream containing hydrogen is formed, in the combustion space. A second hydrocarbon stream is reformed with water and a second product gas stream containing hydrogen is formed, in the reformer unit. The first product-gas stream and the second product-gas stream are mixed in the mixing chamber to form a third product-gas stream. The reformer unit is heated with the third product-gas stream.
