Community system and hydrogen production method
A community system includes an ammonia-hydrogen converter that is arranged in an industrial area and that converts ammonia to hydrogen.
1. A community system that uses hydrogen, comprising:
an ammonia-hydrogen converter that is arranged in an industrial area and that converts ammonia to hydrogen;
a hydrogen storage storing hydrogen supplied from the ammonia-hydrogen converter;
an FC power generating facility with a fuel cell that generates electric power using hydrogen supplied from at least one of the ammonia-hydrogen converter and the hydrogen storage; and
a house group with multiple houses that use electric power supplied from the FC power generating facility and hydrogen supplied from at least one of the ammonia-hydrogen converter and the hydrogen storage;
wherein the ammonia-hydrogen converter and the house group are connected to each other through a pipeline for passage of hydrogen;
wherein the ammonia-hydrogen converter supplies the pipeline with a mixed gas of hydrogen including ammonia; and
wherein the mixed gas is delivered to the house group through the pipeline.
2. The community system according to claim 1 , wherein
the content of the ammonia in the mixed gas is in a range of 2 ppm or more and 100 ppm or less.
3. A hydrogen production method employed in a community system that uses hydrogen, the method comprising:
a conversion step of converting ammonia to hydrogen using an ammonia-hydrogen converter arranged in an industrial area;
wherein
the ammonia-hydrogen converter and a house group are connected to each other through a pipeline for passage of hydrogen, and
the conversion step comprises a step of supplying the pipeline with a mixed gas of hydrogen including ammonia;
wherein the method further comprises delivering the mixed gas to the house group through the pipeline.
4. The hydrogen production method according to claim 3 , wherein
the content of the ammonia in the mixed gas is in a range of 2 ppm or more and 100 ppm or less.
