Gasification is a process that involves converting organic matter, such as coal or biomass, into synthesis gas (syngas) - a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This process occurs at high temperatures in the presence of steam and/or oxygen, which react with the organic material to produce syngas. Gasification is an efficient method for generating energy from fossil fuels or biomass, as it allows for a higher yield of energy per unit mass compared to direct combustion. The syngas produced can then be used to generate electricity through gas turbines or other power generation technologies, or it can be converted into liquid fuels such as methanol or dimethyl ether (DME). Gasification is an important technology for the production of renewable energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
