Abstract
A hydrogen generation apparatus () includes: a reformer () configured to generate a hydrogen-containing gas by causing a reforming reaction of a raw material; a combustor () configured to heat the reformer; and a controller () configured to set a controlled temperature of the reformer to a first temperature when an oxygen concentration in the raw material is in a first state where the oxygen concentration is relatively low, and change the controlled temperature of the reformer to a second temperature higher than the first temperature when the oxygen concentration in the raw material is in a second state where the oxygen concentration is relatively higher than the oxygen concentration in the first state.
