Information about Fuel Gas

Fuel gas can refer to any of several gases burned to produce thermal energy.

Natural gas (methane) is the most common fuel gas, but others include: Hydrogen may be used in the future as a fuel gas.
In thermal physics, thermal energy is the energy portion of a system that increases with its temperature. In a loose sense, "thermal energy" is a term often used to describe the energy content of a system related to heating effects, e.g. temperature increase or decrease.

Producer Gas is a generic term referring to:
  • Wood gas : produced in a gasifier to power cars with ordinary internal combustion engines.
  • Town gas : manufactured gas, originally produced from coal, for sale to consumers and municipalities.
