Abstract
A hydrogen supply system that supplies hydrogen gas to a fuel cell and causes the fuel cell to generate electricity includes a plurality of hydrogen tanks that each store hydrogen gas, and a hydrogen gas supply path that supplies the hydrogen gas to the fuel cell from each of the plurality of hydrogen tanks. At least one hydrogen tank of the plurality of hydrogen tanks is a first reserve tank that is connected to a hydrogen gas collecting pipe or a hydrogen gas recovery pipe, and that stores hydrogen gas that was not used in generating electricity in the fuel cell.
