Plasma-based conversion of martian atmosphere into life-sustaining chemicals: The benefits of utilizing martian ambient pressure

Journal of CO2 Utilization
We explored the potential of plasma-based In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) for Mars through the conversion of Martian atmosphere (∼96% CO2, 2% N2, and 2% Ar) into life-sustaining chemicals.
