        abstract = {Catalysts consisting of Pt and Cu supported on Mo2C/{\ensuremath{\eta}}-Al2O3, Mo2C/{\ensuremath{\gamma}}-Al2O3 or Mo2C were prepared and used for the low-temperature water gas shift reaction (WGSR). The catalysts were characterized by elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The catalysts were studied in water gas shift reaction with a reaction mixture containing 11\% CO, 43\% H2, 6\% CO2, 21\% H2O (real feed composition mixture from the reformer) and balance He, with a reaction temperature range of 180-300 oC at a space velocity (SV) of 125,000 h?1. Catalyst supports ({\ensuremath{\eta}}-Al2O3 and {\ensuremath{\gamma}}-Al2O3), led to different synergetic effect between the two most active phases of Pt metal and Mo2C. Pt/Mo2C/{\ensuremath{\eta}}-Al2O3 is a promising catalyst (44\% conversion at 180 oC) due to the close interaction between Pt and Mo2C phases on the surface of the catalyst. The 4 wt\% Pt-Mo2C showed the highest activity where the temperature at which 50\% conversion observed was at only 180 oC with SV of 125,000 h?1 and constant stability over 85 h.},
