We are improving hydrogen production catalysts to reduce cost of natural gas fueled fuel cell systems. As a desulfurization catalysts, we developed a direct decomposition desulfurization catalyst which is neither adsorption nor hydrogeneration. As a steam reforming catalyst, a catalyst compeonent which does not deteriorate even if a sulfur compound remains in the gas was found. As a CO removal catalyst, a selective CO methanation catalyst with excellent activity and selectivity was developed. Combining these technologies can greatly simplify the current reforming process.
