Synthetic fuel
 |
Synthetic fuel or synfuel is a liquid fuel, or sometimes gaseous fuel, obtained from syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in which the syngas was derived from gasification of solid feedstocks such as coal or biomass or by reforming of natural gas.[1]
Common ways for refining synthetic fuels include the Fischer–Tropsch conversion,[2][3][better source needed] methanol to gasoline conversion,[4][better source needed] or direct coal liquefaction.[5][better source needed]
