Creating Syngas from Garbage: An Efficient and Environmentally-Friendly Fuel Source for Cars
TLDR The process of creating syngas from carbon-based feedstock, such as garbage, through gasification can result in a pure syngas with almost zero emissions, making it an efficient and environmentally-friendly fuel source for cars. This method has been used since the 1600s and has the potential to reduce waste and produce more energy.
