Abstract
A fuel production systemincludes a gasification unitan electrolysis unitthat is connected to a renewable power generating unitand a commercial power gridand produces hydrogen using electric power; and a control unitthat determines a power index that depending on the carbon dioxide emission intensity of the electric power supplied from the commercial power gridWhen the remaining amount of hydrogen is smaller than a lower threshold, the control unitcauses electric power to be supplied to the electrolysis unitfrom the renewable power generating unitand the commercial power gridfor production of hydrogen, and controls, based on the power index, the amount of hydrogen supplied by a hydrogen supply pumpand the amount of commercial power supply from the commercial power gridto the electrolysis unit
