(57) The present invention provides a method whereby carbon dioxide can be efficiently fixed and calcium carbonate, which is a valuable, can be efficiently produced from the carbon dioxide, and whereby waste gypsum boards can be effectively utilized for fixing carbon dioxide without being discarded. This method comprises a first step, in which a first solution, which contains an alkali metal hydroxide, is brought into contact with a gas including carbon dioxide to thereby yield a second solution, which contains an alkali metal salt, and a second step, in which the second solution is brought into contact with a gypsum-containing substance to thereby yield calcium carbonate.
