Natural gas is a highly efficient energy carrier and a valuable chemical raw material. Therefore, to reduce the consumption of natural gas and increase the productivity of its use, it was proposed to use an artificially created low-temperature plasma with an ordered movement of "slow" electrons in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst and high-frequency current. The theoretical foundations of the combustion process of gaseous fuel and the use of high-frequency current in the creation of low-temperature plasma are considered. The dependences of the change in the temperature of heated water on time at different voltages, frequencies and sinusoidal shapes of the electric discharge current during the electro-catalytic combustion of gaseous fuel are given. The energy characteristics of the process under study are determined. When using electronic catalytic combustion of natural gas with a high-frequency discharge, the optimal parameters are a discharge voltage of 2.5–3 kV, a frequency of 2.4 kHz, and a total sinusoidal shape.
