In a process for producing hydrogen and carbon dioxide including contacting carbon monoxide under homogeneous conditions with an alkaline aqueous liquid phase, containing a soluble Group VIII metal catalyst, at a reaction temperature from about 100°to 300°C. and at a reaction pressure from about 1 to 300 atmospheres, the improvement which comprises conducting the process in the presence of a saturated paraffinic water-soluble alcohol and said metal catalyst consisting essentially of a rhodium compound selected from the group consisting of rhodium chloride, rhodium carbonyl chloride and chodium carbonyl iodide, and being soluble in the reaction medium.
