Syngas - News, Trends, Syngas Links
Why would anyone make syngas from gas?
Most syngas is made via partial oxidation (POX) of natural gas. The syngas can then be used to make a wide variety of chemicals. With my former company, we used syngas to react with ethylene or propylene in order to produce propanol and butanol. - Read More

Using syngas to produce electricity is less polluting
Syngas can be combusted in a combined cycle turbine to produce electricity. Because impurities can be removed from the syngas (both CO2 and sulfur) before combusting the emissions from such power produced is far less than those from normal power plants

Better to do Syndieseil instead of DME
Producing DME using gasification would require dedicated distribution networks which do not exist today; this becomes a chicken and egg story; it's better to do syndiesel as that can fit in with the existing distribution system - Read More
There's a diff between producer gas and syngas
When you gasify biomass with air, you get producer gas in which N2 (51%) is also available, along with CO (22%) , H2 (18%), CH4 (3%) and CO2 (6%). But when you gasify biomass with oxygen, you get syngas - CO (40%), H2 (40%), CH4 (3%), CO2 (17%) - Read More

Using syngas in IC engines
Unaltered gasoline engine can run with producer gas, but experiences the power loss of 30-50% depending upon the producer gas quality - Read More

Syngas hazards
Syngas has toxic stuff like CO and flammable stuff like H2...so there are hazards related to syngas

Producer gas constituents
Producer gas is the mixture of combustible and non-combustible gases. The quantity of gases constituents of producer gas depends upon the type of fuel and operating condition - main are CO, H2 and nitrogen; others are co2, methane and water

Coal a source for fuel cells
Because H2 is produced when coal is gasified, coal may become an important source of fuel for fuel cells. A process called mild gasification, which uses lower temperatures and pressures than normal, may produce substances that can be processed into high value industrial raw material and heat

Anaeobic bacteria that can use synthetis gas and ferment it
There are a number of anaerobic bacteria in addition to C. ljungdahlii that can utilize the components of synthesis gas (CO, CO2, and H2) as carbon and energy sources (for fermentation?) : Clostridium thermoaceticum, Clostridium autoethanogenum, Peptostreptoccus productus, Eubacteriam limosum, Butyribacterium mehylotrophicum, and Clostridium acetobutylicum. - Read More
