Advanced [[Plasma]] reactors convert [[Waste|waste]] into [[Syngas|synthetic gases]] with the aim of removing unwanted materials and recycling energy and as a result is often defined in terms of a type of [[gasification]]. The main component is the gas [[Plasma|plasmas]] which are formed by freeing electrons from gas molecules and atoms using external energy sources. Insignificant emissions of [[Flue Gas|flue gases]] and very high efficiency in these reactors have created a high incentive for using them and an established commercial technology.
