Gasification can be designed to minimize toxic emissions through several mechanisms. The controlled environment limits the formation of dioxins and furans, which are highly toxic compounds typically produced during combustion. Additionally, the high temperature and pressure conditions can break down complex molecules, reducing the formation of persistent organic pollutants. Advanced gas cleaning systems, such as scrubbers and filters, can further reduce emissions of particulates and other contaminants, making gasification a potentially cleaner alternative to traditional combustion methods.
