Claim:
1. A plasma dry reforming apparatus for producing synthetic gas, main components of which are hydrogen (H 2 ) and carbon monoxide (CO), by reforming methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) injected in plasma, the apparatus comprising: a plasma reformer configured to produce carbon dioxide plasma from carbon dioxide supplied therein, ignite plasma flame by supplying hydrocarbon to the produced carbon dioxide plasma, and produce synthetic gas by supplying methane to the plasma flame, wherein the plasma reformer is a microwave torch plasma dry reformer that comprises: a body including: a discharge tube stably mounted inside the reaction space of the body adapted to receive a microwave to make the carbon dioxide plasma in the reaction space; a wave guide fastened to the body, connected to the discharge tube, adapted to apply the received microwave having a preset frequency to the discharge tube; and a hydrocarbon supplying tube adapted to inject hydrocarbon into the reaction space, wherein an inner wall or inside of the plasma reformer is formed with a catalytic reaction space filled with a photocatalyst to be excited by the carbon dioxide plasma.
