Abstract: This review focuses on the application of dielectric barrier discharge reactors for tar removal during biomass gasification. Key processing parameters, such as discharge power, temperature, flow rate, catalyst loading, concentration of tar model compounds, carrier gas, and steam effect, were analyzed for their impact on tar conversion, energy efficiency, selectivity, and product yield. By gaining a comprehensive understanding of these parameters, this review aims to optimize dielectric barrier discharge reactor performance for enhanced application in biomass gasification. These insights highlight the importance of considering multiple parameters in the design and operation of dielectric barrier discharge reactors. The findings of this review offer guidance for future research, focusing on targeted improvements in reactor design and operational strategies to achieve more effective and efficient biomass gasification processes. This work contributes to SDG 7 by advancing DBD technology that improves the efficiency and sustainability of clean energy production.
