... a process that uses heat, pressure, and steam [or chemicals] to convert materials directly into a gas composed primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

OBS

Typical raw materials used in gasification are coal, petroleum-based materials, and organic materials.

The resulting gas will contain hydrogen, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons with large amounts of nitrogen (if air is used as a feed instead of oxygen); the exact composite will depend on the temperature, pressure, time and presence of catalyst.
