An oxyhydrocarbon reforming catalyst which contains copper, excels in heat resistance and is markedly improved in the activity per area; and a process for producing hydrogen or synthetic gas therewith. There is further provided a fuel cell system including a reforming unit having the excellent reforming catalyst accommodated therein and a fuel cell using hydrogen produced by the reforming unit as fuel. In particular, the oxyhydrocarbon reforming catalyst contains a metal oxide containing copper and having spinel structure, or contains the same and a solid acid substance. There is further provided a process for producing hydrogen or synthetic gas by carrying out any of steam reforming (1), self thermal reforming (2), partial oxidation reforming (3) and carbon dioxide reforming (4) of an oxyhydrocarbon with the use of the above reforming catalyst. Still further, there is provided a fuel cell system including a reforming unit having the above excellent reforming catalyst accommodated therein and a fuel cell using hydrogen produced by the reforming unit as fuel. |
