Dow Gasifier

The Dow Gasifier is a technology developed by Dow Chemical for converting solid carbon-based materials, like coal or biomass, into synthetic gas (syngas). This process involves heating the materials in a controlled environment with limited oxygen, allowing them to break down into gases. The syngas, primarily composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, can then be used to create fuels, chemicals, and electricity. This method offers a way to utilize abundant resources while providing cleaner energy options compared to traditional fossil fuel combustion. The Dow Gasifier is part of ongoing efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
