Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008031950A2] Method of generating energy from a gas flow, called the initial flow, comprising water vapour (H<SUB>2</SUB>O), said method comprising the deoxidation of at least some of said water vapour (H<SUB>2</SUB>O) by passing said initial gas flow through a layer of material at high temperature, called the thermal base layer, essentially comprising high-temperature carbon, said deoxidation making it possible to obtain a first gas flow comprising hydrogen (H<SUB>2</SUB>O) obtained by the reaction of said water vapour (H<SUB>2</SUB>O) with said carbon elements. The initial flow may be a gas flow that has served for the treatment of a charge of wood (B1). The hydrogen (H<SUB>2</SUB>) obtained constitutes an energy source and may then be used to produce energy by means such as a gas boiler, a gas turbine, a fuel cell, a gas-powered engine, a turboalternator (TAV), etc.
