Applications of a natural gas reformer to mobile systems are described. A reformer with a plasma device is used to reform natural gas or light hydrocarbons to H2 and carbon. A vehicle includes the reformer, a natural gas reservoir, and a fuel cell. The fuel cell uses the H2 generated by the reformer to charge a battery in the vehicle or power an electric motor of the vehicle. Such systems are further used to distribute carbon, where carbon produced by the reformer is sorted to remove carbon black or nanostructure carbon, with each type of carbon compressed and or stored separately for use or commercialization. Such systems are further used to retrofit or otherwise reduce weight of electric vehicles (EV). Batteries installed in an EV are removed and replaced with a natural gas reservoir, reformer, and fuel cell, reducing the weight and improving efficiency of the EV.
