Maybe- theres certainly a lot of frozen CO2 in comets available for harvesting. Where would the CO go, however? It's not the sort of thing you just want piling

Maybe- theres certainly a lot of frozen CO2 in comets available for harvesting. Where would the CO go, however? It's not the sort of thing you just want piling up next to your habitation zones.
- Chris2048 5y agomaybe detach another O and use the C for graphite/organics?
- wruza 5y agoModern (experimental) reactors cannot do that, afaiu. Btw, photosynthesis doesn’t produce CO not because it’s more efficient. It doesn’t split CO2 at all, it does CO2+water+light+catalyzers -> carbonhydrates+O2, and this O2 comes from water, CO2 goes to carbs as is.
- Chris2048 5y agoI assume we are talking about a future context. Of course CO could also be used to make some kind of carbon compounds: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/splitting-carbon-dioxide/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/splitting-carbon-...
