Claim Text:
1. A method for generating synthesis gas comprising the following steps: decomposing a hydrocarbon containing fluid into carbon and hydrogen by means of introduction of energy, the energy at least partially being provided by heat, wherein the carbon and the hydrogen have a temperature of at least 200° C. after the decomposing step; bringing water into contact with at least a portion of the carbon generated by the decomposing step at a temperature between 800 and 1700° C., wherein upon bringing the carbon into contact with water, the carbon obtained by the decomposing step has cooled down by no more than 50% in ° C. with respect to its temperature after the decomposing step; transforming at least a portion of the water and the carbon obtained by the decomposing step into synthesis gas; wherein the carbon obtained by the decomposing step and the hydrogen obtained by the decomposing step are jointly brought into contact with the water in form of a carbon hydrogen aerosol and/or; wherein the carbon obtained by the decomposing step is separated from the hydrogen obtained by the decomposing step prior to the step of bringing the carbon into contact with the water, and wherein at least a portion of the separated hydrogen is added to the synthesis gas generated by the transformation; wherein the carbon obtained by the decomposing step and the hydrogen obtained by the decomposing step are jointly brought into contact with the water in form of an aerosol comprising carbon and hydrogen and/or; wherein the carbon obtained by the decomposing step is separated from the hydrogen obtained by the decomposing step prior to the step of bringing the carbon into contact with the water, and wherein at least a portion of the separated hydrogen is added to the synthesis gas generated by the transformation.
