Ammonia has been attracting attention as a promising hydrogen carrier to solve the transportation and storage problems in a hydrogen society. In this study, plasma membrane reactor (PMR) to produce high purity hydrogen efficiently from ammonia by combining atmospheric pressure plasma and a hydrogen separation membrane has been developed. Compared to hydrogen conversion of 13 % with the typical plasma reactor, hydrogen conversion of 21.9 % with the PMR was obtained. Further, the purity of the hydrogen obtained by transmitting the hydrogen separation membrane is about 100 % and the hydrogen supply was stable at 20 mL / min.
