Vaporization of water leads to low levels of CO : Now, it is possible to produce low‐CO‐containing, H 2 ‐rich streams by simple, aqueous‐phase reforming of oxygenates. The schematic of ethylene glycol reforming on a Pt catalyst shows the composition of a gas bubble in the aqueous‐phase reactor. Lowering the H 2 and CO 2 pressures, by increasing the water pressure, lowers the CO concentration in the product. WGS= water–gas shift.
