Biogas is a renewable energy produced due to the anaerobic decomposition of plants and animals. Biogas contains a high amount of methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2), and trace amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S). It is naturally released in the environment, and the composition varies depending on the source it is generated. The primary focus of the study is to understand the influence of H2S on CH4 and CO2 conversion during syngas production. The effect of applied voltage on biogas reforming reaction with different dielectric materials (glass beads, γ-Al2O3, ZrO2, and quartz wool) packed in a discharge zone was investigated by using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) non-thermal plasma reactor. The influence of gas composition and packed bed on the efficiency of the biogas reforming reaction was investigated. After that, the biogas reforming reaction with packed dielectric material was performed without H2S and subsequently with H2S (blended with N2) while keeping the residence time constant. It was observed that H2S has a significant effect on the conversion. The CH4 conversion drastically dropped from 23% (without H2S) to 9% (with H2S), and CO2 conversion dropped from 18% to 11 % at 22 kV with quartz wool packed DBD. Energy efficiency decreased from 3.12 mmol/kJ (without H2S) to 1.78 mmol/kJ (with H2S) with glass beads packed DBD. Moreover, H2S has more effect on CH4 conversion than CO2. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd
