Gasification is emerging as a core technology for the production of chemicals and cleaner power, and refers to a process for converting solid fuels, including coal, biomass, and wastes, into either fuel gas (containing CH 4 and some N 2 usually) or syngas (containing mainly H 2 and CO) for subsequent conversion into fuels and chemicals.

Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy. Almost all hydrogen produced today is designated as brown, black, or gray, meaning it was generated by burning natural gas or coal. And the world is going to need a lot more of it. The process emits about 10 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of hydrogen.
