Abstract
A hydrogen supply system includes: an electrochemical hydrogen pump which includes: an electrolyte membrane; a pair of anode and cathode provided on both surfaces of the electrolyte membrane; and a current adjuster which adjusts a current flowing between the anode and the cathode and which generates hydrogen boosted at a cathode side from an anode fluid supplied to an anode side when the current is allowed to flow between the anode and the cathode by the current adjuster; and a controller which controls the current adjuster to decrease the current flowing between the anode and the cathode when the pressure of a cathode gas containing the boosted hydrogen is increased.
