Synthesis gas, often referred to as syngas, is a mixture primarily composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. It is produced through the gasification of carbon-containing materials, such as coal, natural gas, or biomass. This gas serves as a crucial intermediate in the production of various chemicals and fuels. Syngas can be converted into liquid fuels through processes like the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis or used to generate electricity. Its versatility makes it an important component in the development of sustainable energy solutions and the chemical industry, helping to reduce reliance on traditional fossil fuels.
