Methods and apparatus are provided for plasma-assisted gas production. In one embodiment, a gas, which includes at least one atomic or molecular species, can flow into a cavity ( 305 ). The gas can be subjected to electromagnetic radiation having a frequency less than about 333 GHz (optionally in the presence of a plasma catalyst) such that a plasma ( 310 ) forms in the cavity ( 305 ). A filter ( 315 ) capable of passing the atomic or molecular species, but preventing others from passing, can be in fluid communication with the cavity ( 305 ). In this way, the selected species can be extracted and collected, for storage or immediate use.
