ABSTRACT:
An object of the invention is to provide an engine system driving an engine by using a hydrogen rich gas generated from a medium chemically repeating a hydrogen absorption and a hydrogen desorption as one of fuels, in which the engine system can efficiently generate a hydrogen rich gas from the medium. In an engine system which mounts a medium chemically repeating a hydrogen absorption and a hydrogen desorption thereon, is provided with a hydrogen supplying apparatus generating or storing a hydrogen rich gas from the medium, and drives an engine by using the hydrogen rich gas as one of fuels, the engine system has a detecting portion detecting an operating state of the engine, and a medium supplying amount control means controlling a supplying amount of the medium supplied to the hydrogen supplying apparatus in correspondence to a result of detection of the detecting portion.
