Abstract
A process for the production of hydrogen rich gas from a feedstock containing dimethyl ether and/or methanol by steam reforming dimethyl ether in presence of a reforming catalyst to a product gas being rich in hydrogen, wherein necessary heat for the endothermic steam reforming reactions is supplied through oxidation of part of the hydrogen contained in the steam reformed feedstock process in heat conducting relationship with the steam reforming reactions.
