  • Publication number: 20230295059
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a hydrocarbon compound from carbon dioxide, said method including: (a) a step of preparing an absorption-conversion catalyst that includes an oxide carrier, a first component supported on the oxide carrier and including at least one type of metal selected from the group consisting of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals, and a second component supported on the oxide carrier and including at least one type of metal selected from the group consisting of Ni, Fe, Co, Cu, and Ru; (b) a step of bringing the absorption-conversion catalyst and a carbon dioxide-including gas into contact under higher pressure than atmospheric pressure, and causing the carbon dioxide to be stored in the absorption-conversion catalyst; and (c) a step of bringing the absorption-conversion catalyst that has the carbon dioxide stored therein and a reducing gas into contact under higher pressure than atmospheric pressure, and obtaining the hydrocarbon compound.

  • Publication number: 20230242406
    Abstract: A method for producing carbon monoxide, the method may comprise the steps of: (a) preparing an adsorption-conversion catalyst comprising a support, and an additive comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal and an alkali earth metal, supported on the support, and not substantially comprising Ni, Fe, Co, Cr, Cu, Ru, In, Rh, Pt, Au, and Pd elements; (b) bringing the adsorption-conversion catalyst into contact with a gas containing carbon dioxide to allow the adsorption-conversion catalyst to capture carbon dioxide; and (c) bringing the adsorption-conversion catalyst to which carbon dioxide is captured into contact with a reducing gas to produce carbon monoxide.
