Gasification

Gasification is a process that transforms carbonaceous materials from organic or fossil fuel to carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. This is done by reacting the substance with a controlled amount of oxygen and/or vapor at high temperatures (> 700 ° C), without combustion. The gasification and combustion capacity of the resulting gas is considered a source of renewable energy if the gaseous compounds are obtained from biomass. The benefit of gasification is that using the synthesis gas H2 / CO is theoretically more effective than direct combustion of the original fuel because it can be combusted at higher temperatures or even in fuel cells, so that the thermodynamic upper limit to the efficiency specified by Carnot 's law is higher or not applicable (in case of fuel cells).
