The use of fossil fuels has led to an increase in greenhouse gases, negatively impacting the environment and human health. The search for an alternative green fuel has brought attention to hydrogen, which has zero carbon emissions. Methane decomposition using gliding arc discharge reactors has been explored as a potential method for hydrogen production. This review focuses on the application of gliding arc discharge reactors for methane conversion, discussing the effects of various parameters on reactor performance.
The use of fossil fuels has caused an ongoing increase in greenhouse gases (GHGs), which have a negative impact on both the environment and human health. The world requires an alternative green sustainable fuel that can solve these problems. Hydrogen (H2) can be considered as an alternative green energy source as it has zero carbon emissions. Methane (CH4) decomposition is a potential technique to produce H2 fuel. Gliding arc discharge (GAD) reactors have gained significant attention to produce H2 from the decomposition of CH4. This review focuses on the application of GAD reactors for CH4 conversion. The effects of different parameters, such as operation conditions, additives, geometric configuration, and catalysts, on the performance of the GAD reactor, are discussed in this review.
