In a method according to the invention for drying wood chips which are used as raw material for a gas-generating reactor (6), the product gas of which is at least partially used in a block-type thermal power station (BHKW), it is provided that air from the building of the block-type thermal power station heats and dries the wood chips in a drying hopper (3), and that the wood chips enter the drying hopper (3) through a first air-tight lock (2) and exit the drying hopper through a second air-tight lock (4). The device according to the invention, between a storage for wood chips and a reactor (6), the product gas of which is directed to a block-type thermal power station, has a drying hopper (3). The conveying means for the wood chips has a gas-tight lock at the entry to and at the exit from the drying hopper (3), and a hot air line which emanates from the housing of the block-type thermal power station leads to the drying hopper which has at least one outlet for the cooled humidified air. |
