Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a fuel cell system for preventing carbon deposition in a fuel cell stack to be supplied with reformed gas. A fuel cell systemA of the present invention includes a partial oxidation reformerfor partially oxidizing raw fuel to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen, a shift reactorfor shift reacting the carbon monoxide with steam to produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen, a fuel cell stackfor generating electric power by electrochemical reaction between oxidant gas and the hydrogen which is produced in at least one of the partial oxidation reformerand the shift reactor, and an exhaust gas recirculation pipe Pfor supplying steam contained in exhaust gas of the fuel cell stackto the shift reactor
