Abstract— Production of hydrogen from CH4:CO2 (70%:30%) mixture simulating dry biogas in a DBD reactor supplied with AC of 1.0-2.0 kHz or nanosecond negative pulses is presented. We have found that hydrogen production and methane conversion degree increase linearly with discharge power in the range of up to 50 W. Nanosecond voltage pulses are much more efficient in hydrogen production than sine AC voltage.
