  • Method and system for reforming CO2 rich natural gases into syngas using cold plasma device coupled in series to a separate catalyst reforming reactor
    Patent number: 11851329
    Abstract: A method and system for reforming CO2 rich natural gases is disclosed which comprises: a cold plasma unit configured to convert CO2 rich natural gases into a plasma state; and a gas reforming reactor configured to reform said CO2 rich gas mixture at said plasma state into a syngas. The catalytic reforming reactor is separate and different from the DBD cold plasma unit. Means for latent heat of condensation, endothermic/exothermic reactions, and convection currents is used to achieve energy efficiency.
