Claim:
1. A process for producing synthesis gas by autothermal reformation of gaseous, liquid and/or solid fuels, in which the fuel is reacted with an oxidizing agent in a reaction space at a pressure of 10 to 120 bar and a reaction space temperature of 800 to 2,000° C. to obtain synthesis gas, wherein the oxidizing agent is introduced centrally in the upper region of the reaction space and wherein a flame is formed in the reaction space, wherein the oxidizing agent is introduced into the reaction space separate from the fuel, wherein the fuel is introduced at one or more points into a recirculation zone of the flame, wherein the recirculation zone is defined as the zone wherein the materials present in the flame flow back to the top, and wherein the fuel is introduced into the recirculation zone along with a moderator such that a spray cone is formed within the recirculation zone.
