Producer gas is a mixture of flammable and nonflammable gases, mainly carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the former, and carbon dioxide and nitrogen for the latter. It burns with a lower heat than some other gases, but its great benefit is that it can be manufactured simply and relatively cheaply. It is also sometimes called air gas or coal gas.
Producer gas is fuel gas that is manufactured from material such as coal, as opposed to natural gas. In this respect it is similar to other types of "manufactured" gas, such as coal gas, coke oven gas, water gas and carburetted water gas. Producer gas was used primarily as an industrial fuel for iron and steel manufacturing, such as firing coke ovens and blast furnaces, cement and ceramic kilns, or for mechanical power through gas engines. It was characteristically low in heating value but cheap to make, so that large amounts could be made and burnt.

In the USA, producer gas may be wood gasproduced in a gasifier and used to power cars, town gas, originally produced from coal, for sale to consumers, and syngas, used as a fuel source or as an intermediate for the production of other chemicals.

In the United Kingdom, producer gas, also called suction gas, specifically means a fuel gas made from coke, anthracite or other carbonaceous material. Air is passed over the red-hot carbonaceous fuel and carbon monoxide is produced. The reaction is exothermic and proceeds as follows:

2C + O2 + 3.73 N2 → 2CO+ 3.73 N2
