Gaseous fuels require less excess air (10-30%) for complete combustion than solid fuels (100-150%).{combustion efficiency} Solid fuels, however, cost less per energy unit than gaseous fuels. {from less than zero for waste to energy plants, to about 1/2 the cost of natural gas for coal.}

In pyrolysis, solid or liquid fuels are heated in the absence of oxygen to break them down into gas, liquid, and solid products.
