In situ DRIFTS study of ethanol adsorption/desorption was performed on Pt (Rh, Pd)/Ca-Al2O3. Contrary to the acetate-driven reaction mechanism observed on Ca-free metal/Al2O3 catalysts, formate species are exclusively observed on Pt (Rh, Pd)/Ca-Al2O3, offering a new mechanism denoted as formate-driven.  The role of support will be discussed
