Abstract
A catalyst for reforming fuel into a reformed gas rich in hydrogen comprises a catalyst carrier consisting of .gamma.-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and a catalyst metal mixture of the Cu--Ni--Cr type supported on the carrier, the metal mixture having the following composition: Cu = 36-62% by weight, Ni = 8-32% by weight, and Cr = 18-41% by weight, provided that Cu + Ni + Cr = 100% by weight. This catalyst is effective in reforming a fuel, especially methyl alcohol, into hydrogen over a wide temperature range from a low temperature to a high temperature. It is further improved by impregnating the carrier with at least one metal oxide selected from BaO, La.sub.2 O.sub.3, SiO.sub.2, CeO.sub.2, and SrO or by admixing the catalyst metal mixture with at least one of the oxides.
