Abstract
A fuel for a fuel cell system comprising hydrocarbon compounds, which fuel has distillation properties of the initial boiling point (initial boiling point 0) in distillation of 24° C. or higher and 40° C. or lower, the 10 vol. % distillation temperature (T) of 25° C. or higher and 50° C. or lower, the 90 vol. % distillation temperature (T) of 45° C. or higher and 130° C. or lower, and the final boiling point in distillation of 55° C. or higher and 150° C. or lower. The fuel for a fuel cell system has a high power generation quantity per weight, a high power generation quantity per COemission, a low fuel consumption, a small quantity of evaporative gas (evapo-emission), small deterioration of a fuel cell system comprising such as a reforming catalyst, a water gas shift reaction catalyst, a carbon monoxide removal catalyst, fuel cell stacks and the like to maintain the initial performances for a long duration, good handling properties in terms of storage stability and inflammability, and a low preheating energy.
