Abstract
A method of producing hydrogen using a water electrolysis system comprising at least an electrolyzer and a purifier for removing oxygen in a hydrogen gas generated in the electrolyzer. The method includes controlling a concentration of oxygen in a hydrogen gas to be introduced to the purifier to be constantly less than 0.5 volume % when the electrolyzer is operated at least under a current density of 0.5 kA/mor greater; and further controlling Ob/Oa to be less than 10.0, where Oa represents the concentration of oxygen in the hydrogen gas to be introduced to the purifier when the electrolyzer is operated under a current density of 2.0 kA/m, and Ob represents the concentration of oxygen in the hydrogen gas to be introduced to the purifier when the electrolyzer is operated under a current density of 0.2 kA/m.
