Claim 0:
1. A carbon dioxide treatment apparatus comprising:
a capturing device that captures carbon dioxide;
an electrochemical reaction device that electrochemically reduces carbon dioxide; and
a power storage device that supplies power to the electrochemical reaction device, wherein
the capturing device includes an absorption unit that brings an electrolytic solution composed of a strong alkaline aqueous solution and carbon dioxide gas into contact with each other to dissolve carbon dioxide in the electrolytic solution and absorb the carbon dioxide,
the electrochemical reaction device includes a cathode, an anode, and a liquid flow path provided between the cathode and the anode through which the electrolytic solution that has absorbed carbon dioxide in the absorption unit flows, and reduces the dissolved carbon dioxide in the electrolytic solution at the cathode,
the power storage device includes a conversion unit that converts renewable energy into electric energy, and a storage unit that stores the electric energy converted by the conversion unit, and
the electrolytic solution is circulated and shared between the absorption unit, the storage unit, and the electrochemical reaction device.
