Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a reformer that includes a plurality of reaction sections for generating hydrogen from hydrogen-containing fuel; a plurality of heating sections which supply thermal energy to the plurality of heating sections and which have a catalyst; and a main body receiving the plurality of reaction sections and the plurality of heating sections. The respective heating sections generate different amounts of thermal energy for the reactions of the respective reaction sections.
