Abstract

It is to provide a method for manufacturing a hydrocarbon, with which a hydrocarbon is produced at a high yield even under the condition of an ordinary temperature and an ordinary pressure.A method for manufacturing a hydrocarbon, in which carbon dioxide is reduced to produce the hydrocarbon, the method includes a step of producing the hydrocarbon by bringing magnesium or a magnesium compound such as magnesium oxide into contact with water and the carbon dioxide and reducing the carbon dioxide. Examples of the magnesium compound include magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, and basic magnesium carbonate.
