Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a hydrogen production apparatus and a hydrogen production method which, in the production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water, allow the use of salt water as a feedstock while suppressing generation of chlorine. In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention provides: a hydrogen production apparatus for producing hydrogen by electrolysis of salt water, the hydrogen production apparatus being provided with an electrolysis unit in which a cation exchanger is disposed between electrodes, wherein an electrolyte solution that does not contain chloride ions is introduced to the anode side of the electrolysis unit, and salt water is introduced to the cathode side of the electrolysis unit; and a hydrogen production method. According to the present invention, electrolysis can be performed while maintaining a state in which chloride ions that cause chlorine gas generation do not exist on the anode side. Consequently, in the production of hydrogen by electrolysis of water, salt water can be used as the feedstock for the production of hydrogen while suppressing the generation of chlorine, and, when the hydrogen production apparatus is increased in scale, the cost and the environmental load can be reduced.
