Abstract
A hydrocarbon generation system includes a first generation apparatus configured to generate a hydrocarbon with two or more carbon atoms from a first raw material containing: at least one of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide; and hydrogen. The hydrocarbon generation system includes a second generation apparatus configured to generate methane from a second raw material including: hydrogen; and at least one of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide contained in the first raw material and discharged from the first generation apparatus.

A hydrocarbon generation system comprising:
- a first generation apparatus configured to generate a hydrocarbon with two or more carbon atoms from a first raw material containing:
- at least one of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide;
- and
- hydrogen;
- and
- a second generation apparatus configured to generate methane from a second raw material containing:
- hydrogen;
- and
- at least one of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide contained in the first raw material and discharged from the first generation apparatus;
- wherein
- the first generation apparatus is provided with an iron catalyst for generating the hydrocarbon with two or more carbon atoms from the first raw material, and
- the second generation apparatus is provided with a nickel catalyst for generating the methane from the second raw material.
A hydrocarbon generation method, comprising:
- a first generation step of generating, in a first generation apparatus, a hydrocarbon with two or more carbon atoms from a first raw material containing:
- at least one of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide;
- and
- hydrogen;
- and
- a second generation step of generating, in a second generation apparatus, methane from a second raw material containing:
- hydrogen;
- and
- at least one of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide contained in the first raw material and discharged in the first generation step;
- wherein
- the first generation apparatus is provided with an iron catalyst for generating the hydrocarbon with two or more carbon atoms from the first raw material, and
- the second generation apparatus is provided with a nickel catalyst for generating the methane from the second raw material.
