Statement 1 is correct while statement 3 is not correct: Pyrolysis & gasification are both thermal decomposition processes. Pyrolysis occurs in the full absence or near absence of oxygen, leading to the production of solid, liquid, and gaseous products, whereas gasification occurs in a partial absence of oxygen, primarily producing syngas. Both processes can convert organic materials into valuable products and can be used for energy production.

Statement 2 is correct: Gasification typically operates at higher temperatures (usually above 700&deg;C), whereas pyrolysis occurs at lower temperatures (300&ndash;700&deg;C).
