Abstract
When a system starts, a fuel-air mixture (rich air-fuel ratio) of fuel and air supplied to a start-up combustor (20) is ignited by a glow plug (40), and high temperature gas containing fuel components for a reforming reaction are generated. The high temperature gas containing fuel components for the reforming reaction is supplied to a reformer (22).
