A chemical hydride hydrogen generation system and an energy system incorporating
the same are provided. The hydrogen generation system comprises: a storage tank
for storing a chemical hydride solution; a reactor containing a catalyst; a pump
for supplying the chemical hydride solution from the said storage means to the
reactor so that the chemical hydride solution reacts to generate hydrogen in the
presence of the catalyst; and a second supply line for continuously supplying the
solvent of the solution to the chemical hydride solution during the reaction. The
energy system comprises the hydrogen generation system, a fuel cell for generating
electricity and water from hydrogen and an oxidant, and a separator for recovering
the water generated in the fuel cell and supplying the water to the chemical hydride
solution during the reaction.
