The chemical or industrial process of converting a solid or liquid substance into gas or vapor.
From 'gasify' (to convert to gas) plus the suffix '-ation' (the act or process of); the term became standard in chemistry and industrial engineering during the 1800s.
Gasification is experiencing a modern resurgence as scientists explore ways to convert coal, biomass, and even plastic waste into fuel gases, making it a key technology for circular economy and clean energy transitions.
