Abstract

Disclosed are a device and a method for processing the process gas for a fuel cell (7). A line (8) for the outgoing airflow of the cathode side pertaining to the fuel cell is connected to the supply line for the process gas connected to at least one reactor (1) for processing gas, in such a way that the water and/or oxygen requirement/s for the gas processing is/are entirely or partially met by the outgoing airflow of the cathode side pertaining to the fuel cell.
