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 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.
