The present invention relates to the production of hydrogen. More particularly, the present invention relates to a composition and process for the displacement of hydrogen from water under standard temperature and pressure conditions. The composition comprises finely divided metal powders (e.g., magnesium, or magnesium and aluminum) and can also contain a chloride salt (e.g., sodium chloride or potassium chloride). The process of the present invention comprises adding a composition of the present invention to water (either water that already contains chloride ions-such as seawater-or, alternatively, with compositions that contain a chloride salt, either fresh water or seawater), at standard temperature and pressure conditions, in order to create hydrogen gas from the displacement of hydrogen from the water.
