The present work is devoted to conceptual and applied problems of high-temperature plasma pyrolysis of solid waste of anthropogenous origin with rather high content of hydrocarbons and air-steam conversion of natural gas with the purpose to produce a synthetic gas of specified composition. Calculation results of power and consumption characteristics are represented. They show that process and hardware optimization of plasmochemical processing technologies of comparatively cheap raw material allows decreasing of specific energy consumption to 1-1.2 kW·h/kg at allowable specific plasma enthalpy of 3-8 MJ/kg. It makes them promising for application to production cycles, and plasma steam-air conversion of natural gas can form a basis for creation of large-tonnage manufactures of pure hydrogen production. Offered technologies favorably differ from traditional ones by increased efficiency and they are pollution-free.
