Development of reforming catalysts (steam reforming catalyst, CO shift catalyst and CO removal catalyst (preferential oxidation)) has been carried out in order to achieve dramatic cost reduction for the reformer of PEFC systems in NEDO Industry-Academia Consortium Project. High durability under frequent starts and stops condition is required for the catalysts. A target catalyst for each cost is lower than 1OOOOyen/kW. Base metal catalysts which enable to reduce a cost and high durability were found out. Manufacturing process for the catalysts was also developed. Development of new CO selective methanation technology was also carried out for further cost reduction.
