This invention is directed to a process for reforming an alcohol. The process comprises contacting an alcohol with a reforming catalyst comprising copper at the surface of a metal supporting structure, preferably a metal sponge supporting structure comprising nickel. In a certain preferred embodiment, hydrogen produced by the reforming process is used as a fuel source for a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electric power, particularly for driving a vehicle.

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de reformer un alcool. Le procédé décrit dans cette invention consiste à mettre en contact un alcool avec un catalyseur de reformage comprenant du cuivre sur la surface d'une structure de maintien métallique, de préférence, une structure de maintien à éponge métallique comprenant du nickel. Dans un mode de réalisation privilégié, l'hydrogène produit par le processus de reformage est utilisé en tant que source combustible pour une pile à hydrogène afin de produire de la puissance électrique, en particulier pour commander un véhicule.
