PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen supply system which can avoid the problems accompanied with the reformer affection hydrogen supply to the fuel cell. SOLUTION: This hydrogen supply system 1 comprises a reformer 3 which generates hydrogen from the resources such as alcohol, gasoline and others, and a hydrogen storage system HS which can absorb hydrogen generated by the reformer 3, and release the absorbed hydrogen to supply to the fuel cell 2. The hydrogen storage system HS consists of plural tanks 43, 45 and 47 each of which contains hydrogen absorber MH. The start-up of the fuel cell 2 is done using released hydrogen from at least one of these tanks 43, 45 and 47. Under the continuing operation of the fuel cell 2, when at least one of the tanks 43, 45 and 47 is in the state of hydrogen releasing, at least one another tank of the tanks 43, 45 and 47 is in the state of hydrogen absorbing. And before at least one of the tanks 43, 45 and 47 ceases the state of hydrogen releasing, at least one of the tanks 43, 45 and 47 is in the state of hydrogen releasing. |
