“…In comparison, the production costs for H 2 were $ 0.574/kg for renewable diesel and biodiesel, respectively. Standing from this view point and with other similar observations in using plasma assisted heavy oil upgrading with CH 4, [23,62–64] we are convinced that the economic benefits of plasma driven Methanotreating of heavy oils are substantiated for fuel production in the future by the elimination of the extra step involving pure H 2 , a process often derived from energy‐intensive and highly endothermic natural gas reforming [65] . Consequently, plasma‐driven Methanotreating is expected to emerge as a promising and sustainable approach for the production of premium fuels and chemicals from heavy oils.…”

Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) catalysis, mirroring the trend towards non‐conventional electron‐mediated molecular activation, unfolds novel routes for chemical reactions. Operating at ambient pressure, lower temperatures, and energized by electricity that can powered by renewable sources, NTP offers a cost‐effective and efficient means of sustainable fuel production. This approach has the potential to revolutionize the oil and gas industry, meeting current energy demands while circumventing the challenges posed by conventional thermal catalysis processes, thereby enhancing environmental sustainability and energy security. Through an exploration of the synergistic effects between plasma, catalysis, and hydrocarbon molecules, this concept paper emphasizes the significant advancements made in in‐liquid plasma catalysis strategies for fuel production from heavy oil upgrading. We also provide insights into the heterogeneous catalyst design and the role of plasma gas as an additional catalyst for achieving efficient and sustainable energy solutions. The prospects of in‐liquid plasma catalysis, emphasizing its transformative role in shaping the energy future, are also discussed.

“…Another interesting result found is the possibility to produce heavier hydrocarbons (C 16+ ), because of the recombination process of the activated radicals to produce heavier hydrocarbons than n -hexadecane . On the other hand, the same tendency was achieved for pyrolysis fuel oil. − They reported that the DBD plasma reactor was powerful to crack aromatic compounds thoroughly, which is the main compound group in pyrolysis fuel oil. In addition, the preliminary utilization of DBD plasma reactor for cracking vegetable oils, especially palm oil, to form biofuels was studied by Istadi and co-workers. , They reported that the conversion of palm oil over a hybrid catalytic-plasma reactor was higher than the conventional catalytic cracking, even though the cracking process was over a hybrid catalytic-plasma that was conducted at lower temperature .…”

“…Therefore, the principle of DBD plasma reactor is briefly reviewed in the next section. The utilization of DBD plasma reactor for cracking heavy hydrocarbons molecules was explored by Khani and co-workers. − They focused on the DBD plasma reactor performance for the cracking process of n -hexadecane as a model compound, using lubricating oil, heavy oil, and pyrolysis fuel oil. They reported that the cracking process of n -hexadecane as a model compound can be conducted under atmospheric conditions over a DBD plasma reactor. , However, the conversion obtained was still low.…”

As energy demands increase and fossil fuels resources decrease, a renewable energy must be developed to supply energy demand. Biofuels from vegetable oils has great potential to help supply that energy demand, since biofuels is renewable energy. Biofuels from vegetable oils can be produced through the cracking process of vegetable oils. In this paper, a comprehensive mini review on cracking processes using advanced technologies, especially plasma-assisted catalytic cracking, was reported. The catalytic cracking is the most developed process,because of high selectivity in biofuels production, by introducing base and/or acid catalysts. The latest advanced cracking process technology is plasma-assisted catalytic cracking in addition to microwave-assisted cracking process. Plasma discharge has an important role in assisting electron excitation in the covalent bond of reactant molecules, i.e., breaking C−C, CC, etc., so that the cracking process can be conducted easily. Several plasma reactor designs have been proposed by previous researchers; however, the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor is the most preferred design. Several process parameters that affected the DBD plasma reactor performance, such as discharge gap, feed flow rate, applied voltage, presence of catalysts, and reactor temperature, were addressed. Even though the plasma-assisted catalytic cracking show high potential alternative technology in vegetable oil conversion to biofuels, several drawbacks, which are addressed in this paper, must be considered in the cracking process. Therefore, this mini review is expected to bring the researcher's mindset to innovate the cracking process to be efficient as possible.

“…The plasma can transform triglyceride into diglyceride and monoglyceride for easy ester formation through transesterification (Khani et al, 2015), which also increases the rate of reaction due to the massive triglyceride bond breaking (Gharibi et al, 2015). During the plasma discharge assisted transesterification process, electrons with high energy run through the electrode with high voltage to the other electrode in ground state and excite the bulk gas molecules.…”

Biodiesel has recently received much attention as an energy source with numerous benefits such as high degradability, negligible toxicity, and minimal emissions of carbon monoxide gases as well as particulates. Therefore, this research aims to compare, review, and summarize the conventional and advanced methods of biodiesel production. Currently, some emerging processes that were developed for advanced biodiesel production include microwave-assisted synthesis, ultrasonic-assisted synthesis, supercritical transesterification, and liquid phase plasma discharge technology. The types of feedstocks, catalysts, and operating conditions as the influential parameters in biodiesel synthesis are also discussed. Moreover, in the purification process, the effectiveness of purification depends on the type of catalyst applied in the synthesis process. This research also reviewed and compared several commonly used purification methods such as wet and dry washing, ion exchange and precipitation, complexation, and membrane-based separation that have shown significant results along with the impacts of biodiesel production on environmental and economic sectors
