There is provided a fuel cell system having a fuel cell, which determines whether an operating state thereof is a low-temperature-startup operation or a normal-running operation and performs recovery control for increasing a concentration gradient of water in an electrolyte membrane of the fuel cell to be greater than that in the normal-running operation when it is determined that the operating state is the low-temperature-startup operation.
