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 (such as waste streams) to a gaseous product that has heating value. The characteristics of a syngas greatly depends on the composition of the original feedstock used to produce it, and the process by which it is generated. The Syngas, once produced, can be burnt to release energy; when waste undergoes Gasification and Pyrolysis processes this is utilised to generate electricity, often by implementing a steam boiler and turbine[1]. This is the process Advanced Conversion Technologies adopt, where the syngas produced is combusted as an Advanced Fuel.
