About Syngas
Syngas is a fuel gas mixture that consists of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. It is a versatile intermediate for the production of methanol, ammonia, and SNG. The composition of substances in syngas varies depending upon the chemical composition of the feedstock. Syngas can be produced from any hydrocarbon feedstock, by reaction with either steam or oxygen. Some examples of feedstock include:
• Natural gas
• Coal
• Biomass
• Petroleum
• Pet coke
Syngas is produced by steam reforming or gasification and requires high temperature. The gasification process converts low-value feedstocks into either power or products.
Technavios analysts forecast the global syngas market to grow at a CAGR of 14.1% during the period 2016-2020.
