I think there are two sabatier main chains.  they deal with CO2 processing.

CO2  + H  (iron catalyst + Heat)  -->  CH4 + H2O

CO2  (IRON catalyst and heat)  -->  O2 and C.

Its a real old well understood prociess.

BTW

Freedom decided not to use methane thrusters.  so instead they are
throwing out waste CO2  and importing hydrazine.  failure oriented
management wins again.  someone thought methane thrusters were
too risky.
