Key Terms

Gasification
The process of converting solid or liquid fuels into gas.

Example: Gasification of biomass produces syngas.

Fluidization
The process of making solid particles behave like a fluid by passing gas or liquid through them.

Example: In a fluidized bed, sand particles float in air.

Syngas
A mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide produced from gasification.

Example: Syngas can be used to produce electricity.

Feedstock
Raw material used in gasification.

Example: Wood chips are a common feedstock for biomass gasifiers.

Reactor
A vessel where chemical reactions occur.

Example: The gasifier reactor converts biomass into syngas.

Thermochemical Process
A process that uses heat to drive chemical reactions.

Example: Gasification is a thermochemical process.
