<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reforming catalyst for producing hydrogen exhibiting a high hydrogen production capacity in a steam reforming reaction at a low temperature, preventing an adverse influence caused by carbon deposition or by sulfur poisoning on itself, a reformer, and units disposed downstream thereof, and effectively producing hydrogen by reducing a starting time necessary for starting hydrogen production. <P>SOLUTION: In the reforming catalyst for producing hydrogen including an inorganic composite oxide support comprising zirconium, at least one species of noble metal selected from ruthenium, rhodium, and platinum as an active metallic component, and at least one species of transition metal selected from nickel and cobalt as a co-catalyst, the specific surface area thereof is 310 m<SP>2</SP>/g or greater and the noble metal is dispersed in the inorganic composite oxide support at a degree of dispersion of 60% or higher. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
