A method and an apparatus for reducing combustion residues, particularly pollutants, in exhaust gases generated from the combustion of fuels such as fossil fuels, wood and the like. The exhaust gases are treated before releasing them in the environment. Said treating of the exhaust gases comprises performing a post-combustion process by submitting the exhaust gases to radiant heat so as to increase a temperature of the exhaust gases to a value sufficient to cause self-combustion. L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de réduction des résidus de combustion, particulièrement des polluants dans des gaz d'échappement générés à partir de la combustion de carburants, notamment des combustibles fossiles, du bois et analogues. Les gaz d'échappement sont traités avant leur libération dans l'environnement. Ce traitement consiste à effectuer une opération de post-combustion sous l'effet d'une chaleur rayonnée à laquelle les gaz sont soumis de manière à augmenter la température des gaz d'échappement à une valeur suffisante pour entraîner une combustion automatique.
