What is gasification?

Gasification is when we turn solid stuff into gas by using heat and pressure, like turning a block of ice into steam.

Imagine you have a lump of coal in your hand, like the kind you might find in a campfire. Now imagine it goes into a big oven that’s super hot, hotter than a toaster on full blast! In this oven, the coal starts to change. It doesn’t just melt; it becomes something lighter and more useful: gas.

Think of gasification like making juice from fruit. You put the fruit (like the coal) into a juicer (the hot oven), and out comes the juice (the gas). The juicer uses pressure to squeeze the juice out faster, just like how heat and pressure help turn solid stuff into gas.

This gas can be used for energy, like lighting up your house or helping a car go zoom! So, gasification is like giving old stuff a new life as something useful and light. Gasification is when we turn solid stuff into gas by using heat and pressure, like turning a block of ice into steam.
