Hydrogen-rich gas can be efficiently produced in compact plasma reformers by the conversion of a variety of hydrocarbon fuels including natural gas and gasoline. This article describes a first approach in non thermal plasma reforming of methane with carbon dioxide. Experiments have been carried out in a compact device operating at low consumed power (100 - 200 W). Experiments demonstrated clearly the plasma ability to convert CO2 and CH4. A high level of hydrogen was obtained ([H2] up to 25 %). System efficiency was investigated as a term of both CO2 and CH4 conversion and syngas production
