The article discusses the impact of the lithotype of lignite on the suitability for gasification in CO2 atmosphere. The research was aimed at determining the influence of lithotype, petrographic composition, and physical and chemical properties of coal on the composition and release of syngas. The examined coals were humic coals. The first step was to determine the impact of lithotype on the degree of carbon conversion at a temperature of up to 815 °C. The gasification process was conducted in the temperature range of 600–1100 °C. During the experiment, two gas samples, used for determining the chemical content of gas, were collected at 950 and 1050 °C, respectively. What is more, continuous monitoring of the gas density during the gasification was carried out. Depending on the lithotype, the content of ash, moisture, and the degree of coalification, the intensity of gas release is different for different temperatures. In addition, it has been found that coals with a high content of poorly gelified xylite and a low ash content are the fastest reacting and the most responsive. The importance of this research lies in determining that the gasification of coal with a low degree of coalification requires technologies carried out at reactor temperatures above 1000 °C.
