This article is about fuels produced from fossil fuels or biomass. For electrofuels produced from carbon dioxide, see Carbon-neutral fuel.
Synthetic fuel or synfuel is a liquid fuel, or sometimes gaseous fuel, obtained from syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, in which the syngas was derived from gasification of solid feedstocks such as coal or biomass or by reforming of natural gas.
Common ways for refining synthetic fuels include the Fischer–Tropsch conversion,[1][2][better source needed] methanol to gasoline conversion,[3][better source needed] or direct coal liquefaction.[4][better source needed]
