  Numerical simulation of plasma discharges is often performed by models
developed in-house and coupling externally and separately written codes. The
MOOSE (Multiphysics Object Oriented Simulation Environment) framework provides
tools for quickly developing and coupling together software in a scalable
framework, making it well-suited for plasma simulations. A new MOOSE
application, CRANE (Chemical ReAction NEtwork), was developed in order to add
an independent chemical kinetics application to the framework. In this work the
capabilities of CRANE are detailed, including its use as a standalone solver
for global plasma chemistry models. The capability of fully coupling
applications in the MOOSE framework is also shown by compiling CRANE directly
into the MOOSE-based plasma transport software Zapdos, showing the possibility
to solve fully coupled drift-diffusion-reaction plasma chemistry problems. The
code is open-source and available at the following url,
