        Theoretical study of gasification leading to the production of a mixture of CO+H2 in the desired proportions and the necessity of eliminating the inerts CO2 and CH4.  The idea is set forth of a total gasification by cracking, making use of the reaction CH4+CO2=2 CO+2 H2--61 cal. and then removing the inerts.
