1. A method for treating hydrogen and/or oxygen gases, comprising:
producing hydrogen and/or oxygen gases by water electrolysis;
circulating the hydrogen and/or oxygen gases in at least one heat exchanger, heating or cooling the hydrogen and/or oxygen gases in the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger being immersed in a reactive compound which is contained in an enclosure and which is traversed by the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger preventing any contact between the hydrogen and/or oxygen gases and the reactive compound when the hydrogen and/or oxygen gases are in the heat exchanger;
bringing the reactive compound and the hydrogen and/or oxygen gases into contact and making the reactive compound and the hydrogen and/or oxygen gases undergo a physicochemical modification that generates an endothermic or exothermic reaction when they are brought into contact; and
supplying a combustion process with the hydrogen and/or oxygen gases.
