Convert carbon dioxide into useful molecules for off-world manufacturing

Posted 3 days agoOtherOtherBusinessFaced by Mars mission engineers and carbon-utilization researchers

On Mars, carbon dioxide is abundant but raw materials are not, so crews must make supplies from local resources. The challenge asked for ways to convert CO2 into glucose and other compounds that feed biomanufacturing of food, fuel, and materials. The chemistry also offers carbon-utilization paths on Earth.
