Abstract

A fuel cell system includes a hydro-desulfurizer that removes sulfur compounds in power generation material, a fuel cell unit that generates electric power using the power generation material, a recycle channel that supplies a part of hydrogen-containing gas from the fuel cell unit to the power generation material before the power generation material enters the hydro-desulfurizer, and an ejector which is provided in a power generation material channel upstream of the hydro-desulfurizer and into which hydrogen-containing gas from the recycle channel flows, in which the ejector is heated by exhaust gas discharged from the fuel cell unit.
