Producer Gas. Producer gas is a mixture of combustible (Hydrogen,Methane and Carbon Monoxide) and non-combustible (Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide) gases. The heating value ofproducer gas varies from 4.5 to 6 MJ/m3 depending upon its constituents.
Air is passed over the red-hot fuel and carbon monoxide is produced in an exothermic reaction which reads 2C + O2 → 2CO. The nitrogen in the air remains unchanged and dilutes the gas, so it has a low calorific value. The gas may be used to power gas turbines which are suited to fuels of low calorific value.a
