Abstract

A method is disclosed for plasma-based conversion of methane in a plasma reactor, the plasma reactor (1) comprising a reaction chamber and an energy source to create the plasma in the reaction chamber, the reaction chamber being fluidly connected to a post-plasma reaction chamber, the plasma reactor comprising a gas inlet, the post-plasma reaction chamber comprising a gas outlet, the method comprising: a) generating a plasma in the reaction chamber by activating the energy source; b) providing a first gas flow comprising a CH<4> component through the gas inlet and into the reaction chamber, allowing conversion of the CH<4> component into gaseous H<2> and solid carbon and allowing the continuous removal of produced H<2> through the post-plasma reaction chamber and through the gas outlet; c) in consideration of a solid carbon deposit being formed on a predetermined portion of an inner wall of the post-plasma reaction chamber, replacing the first gas flow with a second gas flow, the second gas flow comprising a COz component, allowing the oxidation of the deposited carbon, and allowing the continuous removal of produced CO through the gas outlet until the deposited carbon is substantially removed; and associated reactors and reactor systems.
