Abstract: Methods of one or more embodiments include delivering hydrogen sulphide-containing exhaust gases to a current generation device where the gases are burnt, preferably with air being supplied. The energy released during combustion is employed at least partially for current generation. One or more embodiments also include an apparatus for current generation in which supplied hydrogen sulphide-containing exhaust gases are burnt, preferably with air being supplied.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for generating current from hydrogen sulphide-containing exhaust gases, particularly from the natural gas industry. The method according to the invention is characterized in that the hydrogen sulphide-containing exhaust gases are delivered to a current generation device and are burnt there, preferably with air being supplied, the energy released during combustion being employed at least partially for current generation. The apparatus according to the invention is characterized by a current generation device in which supplied hydrogen sulphide-containing exhaust gases are burnt, preferably with air being supplied, the energy released during combustion being employed at least partially for current generation.
