Abstract

The invention relates to a method for electrolytically providing an oxygen-containing and hydrogen-containing gas mixture, in which method current is introduced via electrodes (11, 12) into a liquid electrolysis medium (3), thus producing oxygen gas and hydrogen gas, which exit from the electrolysis medium (3) in at least partially mixed form as electrolysis gas, characterised in that, immediately after exiting, the electrolysis gas is mixed with an additional gas comprising lower hydrocarbons to form a gas mixture.
