An oxidative steam reforming of methanol (OSRM) process at low temperature includes providing a gas mixture comprising methanol, steam and oxygen and conducting the gas mixture to flow through an AuCu/ZnO-based catalyst for undergoing OSRM process to generate hydrogen, wherein an initiation temperature of OSRM is less than 175° C. The AuCu/ZnO catalyst of the present invention may lower the initiation temperature of the OSRM process and remains to have good catalytic efficiency without undergoing pre-reduction. A steam reforming of methanol (SRM) process is also herein provided.
