The purpose of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a hydrogen production device which is environmentally friendly and has excellent economical efficiency. Another object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a carbon aggregate that is industrially useful. A hydrogen production device according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided with: a reactor provided with a filler containing a catalyst for thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons; a gas supply unit for supplying a gas containing a hydrocarbon compound into the reactor; and a microwave irradiation unit that irradiates the catalyst with microwaves. The gas supply unit supplies the gas at a flow rate at which the filler is fluidized, and the hydrocarbon compound is thermally decomposed in the presence of the catalyst activated by the microwaves, thereby generating hydrogen gas. An apparatus for producing a carbon aggregate according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided with: a reactor prov
