The basic catalytic processes of hydrogen generation, which enclose the efficient use of hydrogen permeable membranes, are discussed. A variety of types of solid membranes are inspected for their suitability for hydrogen extraction from the gas mixture. The constructions of catalytic reformers with an integrated membrane module are given, and advantages of these devices relative to traditional reactors of fuel processor are discussed. The mathematical models of reaction vessels with the membrane release of hydrogen and certain of the simulation results are presented. The prospects for using catalytic reactors with membranes in the hydrogen energetics and transportation facilities are discussed.
