PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an on-vehicle suited fuel cell generating system by which is reduced in the number of parts, thus simplifying its structure and reducing its weight, and which removes nonconformities caused from a delay of response of a reforming unit. SOLUTION: This fuel cell generating system 1 comprises a steam reforming unit 4 which generates hydrogen from fuel such as alcohol, gasoline or the like, a gas permselective membrane 9 to purify reformed hydrogen, a fuel cell 8 to be supplied with the purified hydrogen, and a hydrogen storage unit 20 which stores purified hydrogen when the fuel cell 8 is in non operation state and a volume of supply of the purified hydrogen exceeds a demand for hydrogen from the fuel cell. The hydrogen storage unit 20 discharges hydrogen when the fuel cell 8 starts to operate and the demand from the fuel cell 8 is larger in an amount of hydrogen than the generation of the steam reforming unit 4. |
