Abstract: Current research progress of methanol steam reforming with catalysts was reviewed. Different viewpoints on reaction mechanism and kinetics were summarized. Common catalysts used in the reaction were classified. Factors that influence the performance of the catalysts in the preparation and reaction stage were discussed. Several existing problems of the reaction were pointed out and two corresponding innovative trends were presented. One was methanol steam reforming technology driven by solar energy and the other was development of micro channel reactor for methanol steam reforming.

Key words: hydrogen production, methanol steam reforming, catalyst, solar hydrogen production, micro channel reactor
