Gasification

Gasification is a process that converts organic or fossil-based materials into synthetic gas (syngas) by applying heat, pressure, and limited oxygen. This process breaks down the materials—like coal, biomass, or waste—into simpler chemical compounds. The resulting syngas, primarily composed of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and some carbon dioxide, can be used for power generation, producing fuels, or as a feedstock for chemical production. Gasification offers a cleaner alternative to combustion, as it typically results in fewer pollutants and allows for better energy recovery from different feedstocks.
