Abstract
In a discharge reactor with a low-current gas discharge, an inlet gas made of a CH.sub.4 --CO.sub.2 gas mixture is converted into a synthesis gas having an H.sub.2 --CO gas mixture which has a higher energy content than the inlet gas. For a predeterminable synthesis gas volume ratio R=H.sub.2 /CO, the requisite CO.sub.2 proportion in the inlet gas can be derived from a function curve (f) or calculated according to EQU V=-4.76.multidot.R.sup.3 +37.57.multidot.R.sup.2 -99.13.multidot.R+105.39.
