<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a highly functional steam reforming catalyst which has high hydrogen production performance even in a steam reforming reaction at low temperature, inhibits bad influences on the reforming catalyst, a reformer, and units located downstream of the catalyst due to sulfur poisoning and carbon deposition, can reduce a starting time required to start hydrogen production to effectively produce hydrogen, and uses a small amount of a catalytically active component, and to provide a hydrogen production method using the catalyst. <P>SOLUTION: The reforming catalyst for hydrogen production includes a carrier and the catalytically active component supported by the carrier. The carrier has a specific surface area of 310 m<SP>2</SP>/g or more, and is an inorganic composite oxide carrier containing titania. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
