1. A method for producing combustible gases from fuel, said method comprising the steps of:a) pyrolyzing a combination of oil shale having calcium compounds, a fuel having sulfur compounds and a fuel having chloride compounds in a reactor that produces combustible gases and carbonaceous material in the reactor; b) combusting said carbonaceous material from said reactor in a furnace for producing combustion products that include hot flue gases and ash particulate; c) directing ash particulate from said furnace into said reactor to sustain the pyrolysis therein; d) supplying a further portion of oil shale to said furnace; and e) supplying a further portion of said fuel containing sulfur compounds to said furnace, wherein the quantity of oil shale supplied to said reactor is sufficient for the calcium compounds therein to effect the absorption of sulfur and chloride compounds.
