Abstract
A hydrogen generator includes: a reformer operative to generate a hydrogen-containing gas by using a raw material gas; a hydro-desulfurizer operative to remove a sulfur compound in the raw material gas; a recycle passage through which the hydrogen-containing gas is supplied to the raw material gas before the raw material gas flows into the hydro-desulfurizer; an ejector which is disposed on a raw material gas passage provided upstream of the hydro-desulfurizer and into which the hydrogen-containing gas flows from the recycle passage; and a heater operative to heat the ejector.
