How is Syngas Produced?

Syngas can be produced through several methods:
1. Steam Reforming: This process involves reacting natural gas (methane) with steam over a catalyst, typically nickel-based, to produce H2 and CO.
2. Partial Oxidation: In this method, hydrocarbons are partially oxidized using oxygen or air, often over a noble metal catalyst.
3. Gasification: Solid feedstocks like coal or biomass are converted into syngas by reacting them with a controlled amount of oxygen and steam at high temperatures.
