Gasification is a process that uses a feedstock, often municipal, commercial or industrial waste, for a thermo chemical conversion of waste using high heat. This is done is a low oxygen, also known as an oxygen starved environment that causes material to breakdown at its molecular level. Once the molecular breakdown occurs, the gasification process recombines them to form a producer or syngas - a gas similar to natural gas, and biochar - a carbon rich charcoal type material, which is explained below.
