A device for exhaust gas treatment includes an exhaust gas line through which an exhaust gas can flow in a flow direction, a supply for feeding a reducing agent into the exhaust gas line, a regulating unit for dosing the reducing agent to be supplied, and a carrier body for bringing about a chemical reaction of the reducing agent with at least one constituent of the exhaust gas. The carrier body is positioned downstream of the supply in the flow direction, and the carrier body has at least one metallic base body at least partially including a coating with a storage capability for the reducing agent. Two methods for the dosed provision of a reducing agent, especially a solid reducing agent, are also provided. The methods and device allow economical use of the reducing agent while guaranteeing an approximately 100% reaction of the nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas.
