The micro-reformer (44) being electrically preheatable. An apparatus comprising a micro-reformer (44) including a first zone (76) and a second zone (78), the first zone (76) being preheatable to a first temperature and the second zone (78) being preheatable to a second temperature, the second temperature being higher than the first temperature. A method of using a micro-reformer (44) that is electrically preheatable is disclosed comprising initiating an electrically preheatable micro-reformer (44). The micro-reformer (44) is preheated. The preheating can be accomplished by converting electrical energy (56) into thermal energy (66). A method of using a preheated micro-reformer (44) is disclosed comprising preheating a first zone (76), preheating a second zone (78) to a temperature higher than the first zone (76), vaporizing a fuel air mixture (60) in the first zone (76), and reforming the fuel air mixture (60) in the second zone (78).",
