This paper reviews our R&D activities on both thermal and non-thermal plasma technologies for pollution control and sustainable development. A novel method has been developed for generation of a single and/or multiple plasmas. The plasma reactors are energized in three stages with a solid-state pulsed power source. Pulsed corona plasma is generated with an ultra-short voltage pulse generator. Both single-switch and multiple-switch corona circuitries have been developed. Based on ions and radicals generated by pulsed corona plasmas, the next generation gas cleaning system - called zero emission system, will be developed in order to remove polluting gases, heavy metals, and particles simultaneously. Integrating the thermal and non-thermal plasma processes would lead to develop the next generation plasma technology for pollution control and sustainable development.
