Device (100) for reacting an organic starting material (1) to give a gas which comprises hydrogen, with: • a feed device (30), • a tubular furnace (20) with an entry zone (E), an interior space (I), an axis (R) of rotation and an exit side (A), • a water feed (31) arranged in the region of the feed device (30) or entry zone (E), in order to permit addition of water (W) to the starting material (1), where the arrangement and design of the feed device (30) and the tubular furnace (20) are such that via the feed device (30) it is possible to feed the starting material (1) in the region of the entry zone (E) into the interior space (I) of the tubular furnace (20), and a solid material (2) and a gas mixture (3) can be discharged at the exit side (A) of the tubular furnace (20), where • the tubular furnace (20) comprises a first zone (Z1) and a second zone (Z2), the first zone (Z1) being in a region between the entry zone (E) and the second zone (Z2), and the second zone (Z2) being in a region between the first zone (Z1)and the exit side (A), • the tubular furnace (20) comprises a compensator (21) designed for compensation of different thermal expansions of the first zone (Z1) and the second zone (Z2), · arranged at the exit side (A) of the tubular furnace (20) there is a gas-conducting system (40) designed to conduct the gas mixture (3) onward, • arranged in the region of the gas-conducting system (40) there is a gas monitor (41), the gas monitor (41) being designed to monitor the content of hydrogen in the gas mixture (3), the water feed (31) being amenable to regulation as a function of the content of hydrogen in the gas mixture (3). |
