Introduction
Plasma processes are widely used in the high-tech industry, although at this moment the application of plasma technology in the chemical industry is limited. In recent years, the option of applying plasma chemistry has gained renewed interest. The reason for this is the ever-increasing burden of CO2 emissions and the increasing availability of green electricity. Plasma technology has the potential to enable fully CO2-free chemistry on an industrial scale based on green electricity. Given these developments, high-temperature processes based on fossil fuels are rapidly losing interest compared to alternative electrical processes such as plasma chemistry.
