Diagram of Syn Gas Power Plant
Major Characteristics of Syngas Power Plant
Power generation system using syngas (CO, H2, etc.) obtained by gasification of organic wastes
- Compared to simple incineration of wastes → Requires high efficiency, high cleanliness and low-carbon emission technology
- What is Gasification?
- Convert organic waste into syngas (synthetic gas, syngas, produce gas) (CO, H2, etc.)
- Developing gas engine using syngas as clean fuel gas
