SynGas, H2 + CO, is the direct end product of gasification and is used as an intermediary building block for the final production (synthesis) of various fuels such as synthetic natural gas, ammonia, methanol, and synthetic petroleum fuel. SynGas may also be used as a direct fuel source. In a purified state, the hydrogen component of SynGas can also be used to directly power hydrogen fuel cells for electricity generation and fuel cell electric vehicle propulsion.
