Dear student
Syngas, is an abbreviation for synthesis gas, is a fuel gas mixture consisting primarily of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and some carbon dioxide.
Syngas can be produced from many sources, including natural gas, coal, biomass, or virtually any hydrocarbon feedstock, by reaction with steam (steam reforming), carbon dioxide (dry reforming) or oxygen (partial oxidation).
