Let me put it differently...

You are standing in front of your barbeque with 5 pound of charcoal, ready 
to do the cooking. You have 2 choices:
1: Choice 1: Grind up teh charcoal and spread it on your garden, and forget 
about the barbeque.

2: Choice 2: Set fire to the charcoal, have your barbeque, capture the 
barbeque fumes, clean, compress, seperate out the CO2, then figure some way 
to put the fire genie back in the bottle, pick upo the recovered charcoal, 
then grind the charcoal and put it on your garden.

Option #2 doesn't look very practical. Option #1 will work, but you don't 
get to eat.

Does anybody know a practical way to convert CO2 back to C?

Best wishes,

Kevin
