– The resulting mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H₂) is commonly referred to as synthesis gas or, specifically when produced via steam reactions with carbonaceous materials or hydrocarbons, water gas.
– Producer gas is formed by reacting carbonaceous fuel with air and steam, containing CO, H₂, N₂, and CO₂.
– Natural gas is primarily methane.
