The up to date progress, present status and future directions of CO₂ conversion in various gaseous discharges are critically overviewed. The main theoretical aspects alongside with the resent achievements in the field, mainly related to non-thermal discharges, are discussed. A special accent is made on the advantages of the catalytic CO₂ decomposition in the plasma phase (plasma catalysis). The promising candidates among the different plasma processes and the available catalytic materials are systematically analyzed, which is of a great importance for further progress in the field as well as for potential applications.
