Abstract: The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide gas in the world has led to exploring solutions and alternatives to reduce these concentrations or benefit from carbon dioxide gas and use it as an environmentally friendly fuel and in other applications. There are many ways to decompose gas into oxygen, carbon, or carbon monoxide, including chemical and thermal methods. This can also be done using plasma techniques. A review of the literature related to plasma-based carbon dioxide dissociation will be presented. It also describes some different types of plasma, in addition to explaining the results of recent scientific research in this regard. The results of recent conclusions have shown that through plasma technology, high energy efficiency can be achieved, which indicates the efficiency of plasma in its use in converting carbon dioxide gas.
