Carbon Dioxide () utilization provides a valuable source of carbon for the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. The splitting of can be performed in plasmas. It is highly endothermal, making energy efficiency an important design criterion. This paper presents a glow discharge reactor and appropriate power supply with low complexity and high efficiency, which can ignite and sustain a stable atmospheric pressure discharge of up to 20 mm length in a atmosphere. Glow-to-arc transition, which usually prohibits glow discharge operation at high pressures, is suppressed, leading to high overall efficiency. The maximum efficiency for the driver circuit was measured as 79 %. The reactor utilizes a permanent magnetic field to achieve a large and uniform discharge volume. High power densities of up to and low electric field of less than in the bulk plasma were achieved, both of which are important criteria for efficient splitting of . Efficiency measurements for the splitting of were performed and revealed a system energy efficiency of up to 22 %. Maximum conversion reached was 20 % at 14.4 % energy efficiency. This indicates that the presented technology is competitive with other approaches. Ways to further improve the system are presented and discussed.
