Syngas has less than half the energy density of natural gas
Is this energy density by mass or volume..

Syngas contains varying amounts of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Since there is no set chemical formula for it, it stands to reason that mass and volume would vary depending on the methods of production and the ingredients used. Some of the possible chemical combinations of syngas are:
C + H2O → CO + H2
C + O2 → CO2
CO2 + C → 2CO
C + H2O → CO + H2
C + O2 → CO2
CO2 + C → 2CO
