Synthetic gas, often referred to as syngas, is a mixture of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and sometimes carbon dioxide. It is produced through various processes, including gasification of organic materials like coal, biomass, or natural gas. Syngas serves as a versatile energy source and can be used to generate electricity or as a building block for creating fuels and chemicals. One of the key advantages of synthetic gas is its ability to be converted into liquid fuels through processes like the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. This makes it a potential alternative to fossil fuels, contributing to energy security and reducing greenhouse gas emissions when sourced from renewable materials.
