The hydrogen fuel cell is a promising option t s a future energy resource; however, the nature of the gas is such that the conversion process of other fuels to hydrogen on hoard is necessary. Among the raw fuel resources, methane could be the best candidate as it is plentiful. In this experiment, the possibility of producing hydrogen with less carbon formation from methane by a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) was investigated. Without the addition of a catalyst, the formation of hydrogen reached between 30% and 35% at methane residence time of 0.22 win amid supplied powers in mite range at 60-130W. The hydrogen selectivity increased at higher supplied passer. but the process efficiency, defined as a ratio of the produced hydrogen to the supplied passer, decreased slightly tin eerier to boost the hydrogen production with less carbon formation, a mixed oxide catalyst of zinc and chromium was added to the reactor. It was shown that the production of hydrogen was ca.40% higher than the non-catalytic plasma process.
