The article presents a plasma chemical technology for processing of solid fuels by the example of low-rank brown coal. Thermodynamic computation and experimental investigation of the technology was fulfilled. The technology allows producing synthesis gas from the coal organic mass and valuable components (technical silicon, ferrosilicon, aluminum, and carbon silicon) from the mineral mass. The thusly produced high-calorific synthesis gas can be used for synthesis of methanol, as a high-potential reducing agent instead of blast-furnace coke as well as power gas for thermal power plants.
