NOVELTY - The method is carried out by using a block of gasifiers consisting of cylindrical shaft type units. The solid carbon containing raw material is loaded to the gasifiers and gasifying agent is supplied to each one. The raw material is ignited on the side opposite to the gasifying agent supply whilst tracking the combustion front movement. The initial process is carried out in one gasifier and the amount of gasifying agent supplied to this gasifier is 100-350 m3/(m2.hr). When the combustion front has passed more than 2/3 of the unit height, the specific gasifying agent flow rate is increased by 1.5-2 times and process is carried out simultaneously in both units by igniting the raw material in the second unit whilst increasing the gasifying agent flow rate to this unit and reducing gasifying agent flow rate in the first unit. Various carbon containing materials can be gasified at the same time. Air or oxygen is used as the gasifying agent. Different gasifying agents can be used in different gasifying units.    USE - In power engineering and chemical industry for production of synthesis gas from carbon containing material such as coal, peat and agricultural and industrial waste    ADVANTAGE - The gas specific combustion heat is increased whilst ensuing complete gasification of various materials, the manufacturing process is simplified and quantity of useful thermal energy delivered to the consumer is increased by 15-30 percent.
