Abstract
A hydrogen production system that achieves highly-efficient hydrogen production even when hydrogen is produced by using the plurality of cell stacks is provided. A hydrogen production system includes a plurality of cell stacks provided within a reaction containment, the cell stacks generating hydrogen by high temperature steam electrolysis by supplying steam to the plurality of cell stacks, a first flow path guiding the steam to each of the cell stacks, a second flow path causing a carrier gas containing air as a main component to flow into the reaction containment, and a flow regulation device provided at an inlet of the steam in each of the cell stacks, the flow regulation device regulating a flow rate of the steam caused to flow into each of the cell stacks to be uniform.
