Method and system for processing an irregular gas flow which may contain a fuel. This gas flow is supplied to an internal-combustion engine, the fuel which may be present being utilized to good effect and the environment being exposed to the minimum possible pollution from hazardous substances. An auxiliary fuel is provided for any further support. According to the invention, a regulating arrangement is provided, by which the amount of auxiliary fuel can be controlled as a function of the operating conditions of the engine. Moreover, there is a regulating arrangement which is able to control the primary gas flow. The regulating arrangement is designed in such a manner that it is attempted to use as little auxiliary fuel as possible. In the most optimum scenario, no auxiliary fuel is used.
