Abstract
A fuel cell system includes a fuel gas leakage sensor provided in a housing chamber to detect leakage of a fuel gas from a fuel cell to an inside of a housing chamber. Circuitry is configured to close at least one of a first valve and a second valve when the fuel gas leakage sensor detects the leakage of the fuel gas. The circuitry is configured to control the fuel cell to generate electric power using the fuel gas in the fuel cell while the at least one of the first valve device and the second valve device is closed when the fuel gas leakage sensor detects the leakage of the fuel gas.
