Zusammenfassung:It is an object of the present invention to convert CO2 to CO by bringing about a reverse shift reaction in a relatively low-temperature condition, and thereby enhancing efficiency of generating organic substances, such as ethanol. A raw material gas g1 containing CO2 and H2 is subjected to a reverse shift reaction in a reverse shift reactor 12. Organic substances are generated from a raw material gas g2 after the reverse shift reaction in an organic substance generator 13. In the subjecting step, the raw material gas g1 is brought into contact with a reverse shift reaction catalyst 20. The reverse shift reaction catalyst 20 includes a support 21 and a catalyst metal 22 supported by the support 21. The catalyst metal 22 includes a transition metal. The catalyst metal 22 is preferably composed of Fe with at least one kind of metal from among Al, Ga, In, Cu, Ag, Au, Pd and Mn added thereto.
