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.
