Key Terms

Feedstock
Raw material used in the gasification process.

Example: Wood chips, coal, or agricultural waste.

Gasifier
A device that converts feedstock into syngas.

Example: A fixed-bed gasifier processes biomass into gas.

Syngas
Synthesis gas, a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.

Example: Syngas can be used to produce methanol.

Reforming
A chemical process that converts hydrocarbons into hydrogen.

Example: Steam reforming is used to produce hydrogen from natural gas.
