PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently produce and supply hydrogen and an organic hydride, which is used as a hydrogen storing/supplying agent, for a fuel cell by using low-grade hydrocarbon resources such as natural gas. SOLUTION: The direct reforming composite system for a low-grade hydrocarbon is made combining a direct reforming device for a low-grade hydrocarbon, a combustion apparatus such as a gas turbine, and a hydrogenation reactor for an aromatic hydrocarbon. The composite system reforms a raw material gas, whose main component is a low-grade hydrocarbon such as natural gas, in the presence of a low-grade hydrocarbon direct reform catalyst by using a high-temperature exhaust gas supplied from the combustion apparatus so as to generate hydrogen and an aromatic hydrocarbon, and also generates an organic hydride from the generated hydrogen and aromatic hydrocarbon. Further, the composite system provides the generated hydrogen and hydrogen-containing gas as a fuel for the combustion apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
