A fuel reforming apparatus includes a catalyst packed portion containing therein fuel reforming catalyst (I) having excellent hydrocarbon conversion rate and fuel reforming catalyst (II) having excellent H 2 +CO formation rate. Each of catalyst (I) and catalyst (II) especially preferably includes rhodium supported thereon. When the carrier for catalyst (I) is aluminum oxide and the carrier for catalyst (II) is cerium oxide, the hydrogen generation efficiency is excellent particularly even at start-up. |
