The invention concerns a reactor for pyrolysis and a method for charging and emptying such a reactor. A reactor according to the invention for the recovery of carbon and hydrocarbons from organic input material through pyrolysis, comprises a vessel (2) that extends along a vertical central axis (6) and demonstrates a chamber (3) that is limited outwardly by an outer surface (5) and by an upper and a lower end-wall section (7, 8), in which chamber it is intended that input material (4) in fragmented form is to be placed whereby the vessel has an opening (12) with a hatch (14) that when in a closed position forms a limit between the chamber and the surrounding atmosphere, an inlet (9) for the introduction of heated gas into the chamber, and an outlet (10) for the passage out from the chamber of gas that has passed through the input material that has been placed in the chamber. In order to control and monitor the pyrolysis treatment of finely divided input material, the inlet (9) comprises a number of inlet units (35:1-35:n) arranged in regions in the chamber (3) that for the leading of gas into the chamber are in gas-transfer communication with a gas-emitting source through an inlet pipe (30:1-30:n) that belongs to each inlet unit, and the outlet (10) that comprises a number of outlet units (50:1-50:n) arranged in regions throughout the chamber that for the leading of gas out from the chamber are in gas-transfer communication with a separate outlet pipe (51) that belongs to each outlet unit.
