Pyrolysis systems, methods, and resultants derived therefrom

A process for the controlled gasification of a carbonaceous feedstock, comprising:

• pyrolizing the feedstock by conveying the feedstock through a retort surrounded by a plurality of successive heating chambers each comprising an axially adjustable chamber separation wall and each operated at a predetermined temperature, wherein a predetermined dwell time of the feedstock in each of the plurality of successive heating chambers is controlled by a conveyance rate of the feedstock through the retort and a position of each of the axially adjustable chamber separation walls to produce a gas product and a solid product, wherein the gas product comprises methane and noxious chemicals and the solid product comprises carbon;
• and
• controlling the pyrolizing step using feedback related to constituents of the gas product, thereby providing a predictable and stable gas product from the feedstock.
