METHOD FOR OPERATING A GAS-POWERED INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

The invention relates to a method for operating a gas-powered internal combustion engine, wherein during a switched on operating state of the internal combustion engine, an oxygen-containing gas, preferably air, is introduced during an inflow phase into at least one cylinder for combustion and wherein fuel is fed to at least one injector, is injected by the injector into the cylinder in the course of a primary injection and is ignited there in the course of a primary ignition, characterised in that the supply of fuel to the injector is ended during a switch-off process of the internal combustion engine, and in that fuel remaining in the region of the injector is injected into at least one cylinder of the internal combustion engine after the primary ignition and before the start of the subsequent inflow phase in the course of a secondary injection and is ignited in the course of a secondary ignition.
