This is a system to restorate carbon dioxide solved in water by utilizing restorative plasma radical generated in microbubbles created in water. The system consists of hydrogen generation unit and plasma radical generation unit. As a power to generate hydrogen gas, photovoltaic cell chips are used. Combustion system such as a burner exhausts carbon dioxide gas, which is conducted to water tank, and solved in it. With the traditional technology to restorate carbon dioxide, high temperature as high as 600 degree Celsius is necessary, or some kind of catalyst is required. This invention does require neither high temperature nor catalyst. Pulsed microdischarge is generated in microbubbles produced by electrolysis in the carbon dioxide solution without external gas feed by using a fabric-type electrode. The electrode structure not only allows low-voltage ignition of the atmospheric-pressure discharge in hydrogen containing microbubbles but also works effectively in producing and holding the bubbles on its surface. Carbon monoxide restorated from the carbon dioxide solution in hydrogen microbubbles is collected. This can be used as a gaseous fuel.
