Abstract
A fuel synthesis device includes: a supplier to supply COand Hgasses; a fuel synthesis catalyst to chemically react the COand Hgasses to synthesize fuel; a gas-liquid separator to liquefy the fuel into liquid and separate the liquid from a gas containing unreacted COand Hgasses, and CHgas as a side product; a return path to return the separated gas to a point between the supplier and the fuel synthesis catalyst; a bypass path to bypass, and merge downstream of, the return path, and to include a CHseparator to separate the CHand a CHoxidation catalyst to oxidize the CH; and a switching valve to selectively switch between communication with the return path and communication with the bypass path, wherein whether the switching valve communicates with the return path or bypass path is controlled based on the density of CH.
