It is an object of the present invention to convert CO.sub.2 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 CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 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.

A catalyst comprising a Group IIIA metal, a Group VIII noble metal, and an optional promoter metal, on a support selected from silica, alumina, silica-alumina compositions, rare earth modified alumina, and combinations thereof, doped with iron, a Group VIB metal, a Group VB metal, or a combination thereof, offers decreased reactivation time under air soak in comparison with otherwise identical catalysts. Reducing reactivation time may, in turn, reduce costs, both in inventory and capital.

This invention is directed to novel mixed transition metal iron (II/III) catalysts for the extraction of oxygen from CO.sub.2 and the selective reaction with organic compounds.
