1. A method for starting a reactor, particularly a reformer, in a gas-generating system of a fuel cell installation at a temperature, which is far below the operating temperature of the gas generating system, a hydrocarbon being reacted for generating thermal energy for heating the reactor and at least a portion of the waste gases of the reacted hydrocarbon flowing into the reactor, wherein, as the reactor temperature increases, an increasing flow of at least one educt (CH3OH), which is to be reacted in the reactor (3), is introduced and evaporated at least partly in the at least one portion of the waste gases, which flows into the reactor (3).
