Disclosed is a method for cracking a hydrocarbon material. The method includes introducing a stream including a hydrocarbon fluid into a reaction zone. A microwave discharge plasma is continuously maintained within the reaction zone, and in the presence of the hydrocarbon fluid. Reaction products of the microwave discharge are collected downstream of the reaction zone.

A method for cracking a hydrocarbon to create cracked reaction products, which comprises: introducing a stream consisting of a hydrocarbon in fluid form into a reaction zone; exposing said reaction zone to a microwave energy to continuously maintain a low power density microwave discharge plasma within said reaction zone and in the presence of said hydrocarbon; determining concentrations of said cracked reaction products obtained downstream of said reaction zone; adjusting said microwave energy introduced to said reaction zone until the concentrations of said cracked reaction products cannot be increased by further adjustment of said energy; and collecting at least one of said cracked reaction products at a point located downstream of said reaction zone.
