Syngas is an abbreviation for synthesis gas, which is a mixture of gases (combustible constituents include carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane and a broad range of other VOCs)[1]. The syngas typically has a net calorific value (NCV) of between 10 and 20MJ/Nm3.
The Syngas is produced by Gasification or Pyrolysis of a carbon containing fuel to a gaseous product that has heating value. The Syngas, once produced, can be burnt to release energy; Gasification and Pyrolysis of waste processes utilises this to generate electricity[1].
