 Carbon Dioxide is required for most plants to grow. Plants will inhale the Carbon Dioxide to create [[Oxygen]] which can be harvested using [[Active Vent|vents]]. Stationeers should monitor their plants to ensure they always have enough Carbon Dioxide as, given enough time, they can convert all of it into Oxygen.
-Carbon Dioxide has an isochoric molar heat capacity of 28.2 J/mol⋅K, making it a superior coolant to [[Pollutant]]. Both are greatly surpassed by water, though water is harder to find and has more important uses.
