Study of the effect of addition of In to Pt-Sn/γ-Al 2 O 3 catalysts for high purity hydrogen production via partial dehydrogenation of kerosene jet A-1

•H2 generation via partial dehydrogenation.•Addition of In increases activity and stability of standard Pt-Sn/γ-Al2O3 catalyst.•Generation of high purity hydrogen, >97.2% vol. and CO free.•Hydrogen yields in the range of 5.5–6.5%.•Identification of catalyst deactivation via carbon coke formation.
