Carbon dioxide cannot be transformed into a fuel. It has three main reactions:
1. reaction with bases as an acid
2. as a reducing agent for fluorine (isn't just about everything?)
3. oxidizing highly0electropositive metals, with the other element being oxidized with the release of carbon.
Carbon dioxide is one of the most stable substances known; it is even more stable than water and silica.
Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction, taking hydrogen atoms from water in the presence of sunlight and transforming the hydrogen and carbon dioxide into sugars with the release of some oxygen. If we could ever find a way to simulate photosynthesis we might have an excellent way to create useful fuels. Until then we need to save the trees.
