1. A two-stage plasma process for converting waste having organic and inorganic components into fuel gas, which comprises:

  • (a) in the first stage, vitrifying or melting the inorganic components of the waste and partially gasifying the organic components; and

    (b) in the second stage, completing the gasification of the organic components so that gas from the first stage of the process entering the secondary gasifier is exposed to a high temperature such as to transform essentially all soot present in the gas to CO and to convert essentially all complex organic molecules to simpler molecules CO, CO2 and H2.
