ABSTRACT:
Hydrogen is produced from a cellulose-containing biomass by heating the biomass in the presence of water and a catalyst at a temperature of 250.degree.-374.degree. C. and at a pressure higher than the saturated vapor pressure of water. The catalyst includes a catalytic metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, iron, cobalt, molybdenum, tungsten, platinum and mixtures thereof.
