Gasification is a process that converts carbonaceous materials, such as coal, biomass, or waste, into a gas mixture called synthesis gas (syngas) consisting of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (H2), and other components such as methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water vapor (H2O). The gasification process usually involves heating the feedstock material to high temperatures in the presence of a limited amount of oxygen or steam. Syngas produced by gasification can be used as a fuel for power generation, heating, or as a feedstock for producing chemicals, such as methanol or synthetic natural gas. Gasification can also be used to convert waste materials, such as municipal solid waste or agricultural waste, into energy. The process of gasification is considered a cleaner and more efficient way to use fossil fuels and biomass compared to traditional combustion processes. It also has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate climate change.
