Gasification is a technology that converts carbon-containing materials, including coal, waste and biomass, into synthetic gas which in turn can be used to produce electricity and other valuable products, such as chemicals, fuels, and fertilizers.
Gasification does not involve combustion, but instead uses little or no oxygen or air in a closed reactor to convert carbon-based materials directly into a synthetic gas, or syngas.
Gasification can recover the energy locked in biomass and municipal solid waste, converting those materials into valuable products and eliminating the need for incineration or landfilling. Metals and glass should be segregated from the waste stream prior to being sent into the gasification process[1]. The gasification process breaks these carbon-containing materials down to the molecular level, so impurities like nitrogen, sulphur, and mercury can be easily removed and sold as valuable industrial commodities.
