A method for generating electrical energy by a fuel cell system operated with a reformate gas is provided. According to this method, a fuel cell system is provided. The fuel cell system has a first reactor and a second reactor. A gas separation unit is also provided. A portion of a first fuel gas is fed to the gas separation unit. A target gas including Nor COis separated by the gas separation unit. The separated target gas is fed into a protective housing of the fuel cell system. An H-enriched tail gas formed in the gas separation unit is fed as a second fuel gas for operation of the fuel cell.

Method and device for generating electric energy

The invention relates to a method for inertizing an oxygen-containing first gas present in a protective housing () surrounding a fuel cell (), wherein a prescribed amount of a hydrogen-containing second gas is introduced into the protective housing () and at least part of the oxygen present in the first gas is reduced by cold combustion.
