Abstract

A hydrocarbon production apparatus includes a reverse shift reaction unit obtaining a synthesis gas by using carbon dioxide and hydrogen, a hydrocarbon production unit producing a hydrocarbon by using the synthesis gas, a gas-liquid separation unit separating a gas component containing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and a light hydrocarbon and a liquid component containing a hydrocarbon from an effluent from the hydrocarbon production unit, a first separation unit separating hydrogen and carbon dioxide, and a light hydrocarbon from the gas component, and a catalytic reaction unit generating hydrogen and carbon monoxide by using the light hydrocarbon separated by the first separation unit. The reverse shift reaction unit also uses the hydrogen and carbon dioxide separated by the first separation unit. The hydrocarbon production unit also uses the hydrogen and carbon monoxide generated by the catalytic reaction unit.
