What is Synthesis Gas Market?
Synthetic Gas or Syngas is a fuel gas mixture consists of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and some carbon dioxide. It is usually a product of coal gasification and can be used as a fuel for internal combustion engines and for electricity generation. It is produced from many sources such as natural gas, coal, etc. by various production methods like steam reforming, dry reforming, etc.
