Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a method for plasma reformation of fuel, in particular kerosene, which method comprises the steps of: feeding fuel through a line to the inlet of an expansion nozzle; supplying energy from an energy source by way of a hollow waveguide to generate a plasma state in the expansion nozzle; injecting further fuel through nozzles into the arising plasma flame in order to decompose the fuel in the heat into components such as CO, C and H; and expanding the plasma flame at high speed into the combustion chamber.
