	~~syngas~~
	Syngas fermentation is a microbial process whereby syngas (i.e. a gasification-derived mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide) is used as the source for carbon and energy for subsequent conversion into fuel and chemicals by microorganisms. The main products include [[ethanol]], [[butanol]], acetic acid, butyric acid, and [[methane]].

	This process has some advantages over the [[Fischer-Tropsch]] process, which include more flexibility in feedstock, high specificity of the microbial catalysts, reaction near ambient temperature and pressure, as well as other aspects.		Syngas fermentation is a microbial process whereby syngas (i.e. a gasification-derived mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide) is used as the source for carbon and energy for subsequent conversion into fuel and chemicals by chemoautotrophic microbes. This process has some advantages over the [[Fischer-Tropsch]] process, which include more flexibility in feedstock, high specificity of the microbial catalysts, reaction near ambient temperature and pressure, as well as other aspects. Disadvantages include limitations in the gas-liquid mass transfer, impurities in syngas generated from biomass (may affect fermentation), as well as the sensitivity of microorganisms.

			The main products include [[ethanol]], [[butanol]], acetic acid, butyric acid, and [[methane]]. However, the applications are limitless given the capabilities of biotechnology.

Disadvantages include limitations in the gas-liquid mass transfer, impurities in syngas generated from biomass (may affect fermentation), as well as the sensitivity of microorganisms.
