Syngas



Syngas, or synthesis gas, is a fuel gas mixture mainly consisting hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. Syngas is usually a product of gasification and the electricity generation. Syngas has been using instead of gasoline. It has less than half the energy density  of natural gas.

It can be produced from many sources, including natural gas, coal, biomass, or virtually any hydrocarbon feedstock, by reaction with steam, carbon dioxide  or oxygen. Syngas is a important intermediate resource for production of hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and synthetic hydrocarbon fuels. Syngas is also used as an intermediate in producing synthetic petroleum  for use as a fuel.
