“…The advantage of (non‐thermal) plasmas is that the gas can be “activated” by electron impact excitation, ionization, and dissociation reactions, instead of the need for heating the entire reactor. Several types of plasmas have already been used for the conversion of methane, including dielectric barrier discharges (DBD), microwave discharges, glow discharges, coronas, sparks, gliding arcs, radio frequency (RF) plasmas, and thermal plasmas …”

For the energy industry, a process that is able to transform methane—being the prime component of natural gas—efficiently into a liquid product would be equivalent to a goose with golden eggs. As such it is no surprise that research efforts in this field already date back to the nineteen hundreds. Plasma technology can be considered to be a novel player in this field, but nevertheless one with great potential. Over the past decades this technology has evolved from sole hydrogen production, over indirect methane liquefaction to eventually direct plasma‐assisted methane liquefaction processes. An overview of this evolution and these processes is presented, from which it becomes clear that the near future probably lies with the direct two phase plasma‐assisted methane liquefaction and the far future with the direct oxidative methane liquefaction.
