Method for the production of nitrogen and hydrogen in a fuel cell

The invention relates to a method for the production of nitrogen and hydrogen in a fuel cell with an anode and a cathode, comprising the steps of inducing a combustion in a fuel cell, wherein a fuel is supplied to the anode, and air is supplied to the cathode, and with oxygen in the air being reduced. According to the invention, nitrogen from the cathodic gas stream is supplied to a natural gas stream whose calorific value and Wobbe Index are higher than a standard calorific value, so as to reduce the calorific value to the standard calorific value.Civil Engineering and Geoscience
