1. the process of converting a solid or liquid substance into a gas or vapor, especially through heating or chemical reaction
Usage: commonly used in industrial and environmental contexts
2. a thermochemical process that converts carbonaceous materials (such as coal, biomass, or waste) into a combustible gas mixture
Usage: technical; energy and waste management field

Examples

• The gasification of coal produces a synthetic gas that can be used as fuel.
• Gasification is an important step in converting waste materials into usable energy.
• The plant uses gasification technology to reduce landfill waste.
• Water gasification is a process that generates hydrogen gas from steam and carbon.
• Industrial gasification processes require careful temperature and pressure control.
• Biomass gasification offers a renewable alternative to fossil fuel combustion.
