A description is given of a method for minimising the formation of thermal nitrogen oxides (30) during the combustion of a gas/air mixture at a dividing surface (26) between a mixing zone (4) and a combustion zone (8), the effect being that the ratio of the specific combustion area loading (q) to the air ratio ( lambda ) (Eq. 1) in the case of a radiant burner (1) and the ratio of the specific combustion area loading (9) to the product of the flow rate (V), primary and the total air ratio ( lambda p and lambda ) (Eq. 5) in the case of a perforated-plate burner is minimised.
