A process, preferably continuous, for producing hydrogen gas comprising contacting in the liquid phase at least one oxidizable organic substance in the presence of a mixture comprising at least one conductive catalyst and an aqueous alkaline carbonate electrolyte, wherein at least one bicarbonate composition produced by reaction of the electrolyte is regenerated and the a t least one oxidizable organic substance comprises a oxygenated hydrocarbon, f or example methanol and/or dimethyl ether. In a preferred embodiment the alkali ne electrolyte is regenerated using steam. Various advantageous reaction scheme s are described, utilizing, e.g., co-current and countercurrent stream flow an d alternative tower sequence arrangements. |
