Hydrogen production at room temperature from liquid methanol has been conducted using corona discharge. The content of water in methanol solution has a significant effect on this production. When water concentration increases from 1.0 % to 16.7 %, the methanol conversion rate changes from 0.196 to 0.284 mol/h. An important finding in this investigation is the formation of ethylene glycol as a major by-product. The yield of ethylene glycol is ranged from 0.0045 to 0.0075 mol/h based on the water content.
