What is Gasification?
Gasification is a high-temperature thermochemical process that converts carbonaceous materials — such as biomass, coal, municipal solid waste (MSW), or industrial waste — into syngas (synthetic gas), a clean, combustible gas mixture composed primarily of CO (carbon monoxide), H₂ (hydrogen), CH₄ (methane), and CO₂. The process occurs in an oxygen-limited environment (not full combustion), making it highly efficient and environmentally superior compared to direct burning or incineration.
Why Gasification?
Traditional combustion methods are inefficient and generate large volumes of ash,
CO₂, and harmful pollutants.
Gasification provides:
- Higher energy efficiency
- Cleaner emissions
- Valuable syngas production
- Flexibility with feedstock
- Reduced landfill and waste volume
Result: A flexible, low-emission energy solution for industrial heat,
power generation, or chemical synthesis.
